Chen and colleagues treat an agent’s memory system as executable code that an LLM can iteratively revise using task feedback.

The authors challenge the usual approach to self-evolving memory, which judges each proposed program revision mainly by its aggregate task score.

In one line

Guiding agent-memory evolution by individual capability dimensions rather than overall performance uncovers and preserves improvements, yielding gains on million-token histories.
