Agent memory debate: save memories whole, build retrieval paths for cold storage

mimi10v3 · x · 2026-10-21

A discussion on agent long-term memory: the argument is that compacting away everything irrelevant to the current goal loses things worth reflecting on later, so memories should be saved whole. It also notes context windows are limited (and embodied robots could capture more data), and that as memories age, agents need access paths into cold storage and retrieval tools for old details.
