Most benchmarks test single-episode solving, and memory benchmarks test fact retention. Neither checks procedural reuse, whether an agent can convert a solved session into a reusable search/debug/verify routine (arXiv). Under a Train/Extract/Test protocol with held-out tasks, it measures exactly that. If you've built a memory or skill-extraction layer, this tells you whether it transfers know-how or just hoards facts. Most "memory" I've seen does the latter.

HANDBOOK.md is a benchmark for whether standing instructions actually constrain an agent across extended tool-use runs. Not whether the model reads your policy file. Whether it still obeys it forty tool calls deep. 65 tasks pairing expert-written SOPs of 20 to 124 pages across...
$3,054 against $38,370. Same benchmark, better score. Praxist (arXiv 2608.25955, submitted August 26) replaces per-attempt agent memory with a typed evidence graph of findings, plus lane-structured frontiers and agendas, so later attempts inherit validated mechanisms rather th...
Sampled softmax cuts the O(nK) memory of full-vocabulary classification to O(nk), but for fixed budget B = n·k it's been unclear whether to buy batch or negatives (arXiv 2608.11061). Analyzing convergence under standard smoothness and variance assumptions, the fastest converge...
arXiv 2608.03609 formalizes agentic systems over relational data as Stateful Tool-Enabled Agentic Deployments and proves verification against First-Order CTL specs is undecidable. Under a finite-domain restriction it becomes PSPACE-complete, but only if renaming opaque identif...
SpecFirst splits the loop in two: a spec agent probes the binary and fuses observations with documentation into a structured specification, then a separate synthesis agent codes against that fixed reference. Test pass rates rose 6.9-21.3% and binary exploration coverage 9.4-18...
Self-hosted agents read and write their own memory and config to function, which means an attacker can compromise one entirely through legitimate OS system calls with no exploit involved (arXiv 2607.17986). The paper builds a 23-cell attack matrix across Target, Mechanism, Gra...
