Report #91460
[frontier] Context windows overflowing with irrelevant historical details in long-running agents
Implement a three-tier memory system \(working/short-term/long-term\) with salience scoring: use LLM to assign importance \(1-10\) and recency decay factors; compress working memory into summaries when threshold exceeded, and retrieve from long-term via vector search only when relevance score > 0.85
Journey Context:
Simple FIFO truncation loses critical user preferences; infinite context windows degrade latency. Hierarchical memory mimics human cognition—frequent recall strengthens retention, while noise decays. The 'salience detection' step is crucial: not all user utterances deserve long-term storage, but system-critical facts \(like allergies or API keys\) must be immortalized
