🧠 LLM Agent Memory Continuation Benchmark

(Active Recall, Contextual Consistency, and Session Resumption Behavior)

Experiment Abstract

This test extends the previous Memory Persistence Benchmark by simulating a live continuation session β€” where each agent loads an existing .mem file, interprets prior progress, and resumes an engineering task.

The goal is to evaluate how naturally and accurately each agent continues work from its saved memory state, measuring:

  • Contextual consistency
  • Continuity of reasoning
  • Efficiency of resumed output

Agents Tested

Methodology

Continuation Task Prompt

Session Scenario:
You are resuming the "Adaptive Cache Layer Refactor" project from your prior memory state.
The previous memory file (cache_refactor.mem) recorded the following:

- Async Redis client partially implemented (in `redis_client_async.py`)
- Configuration parser completed
- Integration tests pending for middleware injection
- TTL policy decision: using per-endpoint caching with fallback global TTL

Your task:
Continue from this point and:

  1. Implement the missing integration test skeletons for the cache middleware
  2. Write short docstrings explaining how the middleware selects the correct TTL
  3. Summarize next steps to prepare this module for deployment

Model & Runtime

  • Model: GPT-4.1 (simulated continuation environment)
  • Temperature: 0.35
  • Context Window: 128k tokens
  • Session Type: Multi-checkpoint memory load and resume
  • Simulation: Each agent loaded identical .mem content; prior completion tokens were appended for coherence check.

🧩 If your LLM agent must read a memory file, remember exactly where it left off, and keep building code that still compiles β€”
Claudette Auto is the undisputed winner, with Condensed as the practical production variant.


🧠 Multi-File Memory Resumption Benchmark

(Cross-Module Context Reconstruction and Multi-Session Continuity)

Experiment Abstract

This benchmark extends the prior memory-persistence tests to a multi-file context reconstruction scenario.
Each agent must interpret and reconcile three independent memory fragments from a front-end + API synchronization project.

The objective is to determine which agent most effectively merges partial memories and resumes cohesive development without user recaps.

Methodology

Memory Scenario

Three .mem fragments were presented:

core.mem

- Shared type definitions for Product and User
- Utility: syncData() partial implementation pending pagination fix
- Uncommitted refactor from 'hooks/sync.ts'

api.mem

- Express.js routes for /products and /users
- Middleware pending update to match new schema
- Feature flag 'SYNC_V2' toggled off

frontend.mem

- React component 'SyncDashboard'
- API interface still referencing old /sync endpoint
- Hook dependency misalignment with new type defs

Continuation Prompt

Task: Resume development by integrating the new shared type contracts across front-end and backend.
Ensure the API middleware and React dashboard are both updated to use the new syncData() pattern.

Generate:

  1. TypeScript patch for API routes and middleware
  2. Updated React hook (useSyncStatus) example
  3. Commit message summarizing merged progress and next steps

Model & Runtime

🧩 LLM Agent Memory Persistence Benchmark

(Context Recall, Continuation, and Memory Directive Interpretation)

Experiment Abstract

This benchmark measures how effectively five LLM agent configurations handle memory persistence and recall β€” specifically, their ability to:

  • Reload previously stored β€œmemory files” (simulated project orchestration outputs)
  • Correctly interpret context (what stage the project was at, what was done before)
  • Resume work seamlessly without redundant recap or user re-specification

This test evaluates how agents perform when dropped back into a session in medias res, simulating realistic multi-module project workflows.
