LifeBench: A Benchmark for Long-Horizon Multi-Source Memory

LLM agents increasingly act as personal assistants that must remember a user's profile over months: who they are (attributes), what they routinely do (habits), and what they prefer (preferences), and keep it updated as jobs, routines, and tastes drift. Existing benchmarks evaluate this "memory" ability through short, simplified interactions, missing three core properties of real behavior: the profile is heterogeneous, with attributes, habits, and preferences evolving on different timelines; changes are driven by external context such as seasons and life events; and evidence is rarely stated explicitly, instead scattered across many small actions in different apps that a memory system must infer from. We introduce DynamicMem, a synthetic benchmark that constructs 15 months of activity per user, providing long-term multi-app data that real users' privacy keeps out of reach. It provides user-consistent trajectories averaging 2.2M tokens and 1,772 grounded events per user across 16 applications such as e-commerce, fitness, and social platforms. The profile evolves over this period and is never given explicitly: each attribute, habit, or preference must be inferred from small signals scattered across apps. We evaluate at five quarterly checkpoints to track how systems scale as history grows. Benchmarking five representative systems exposes problems a single accuracy score hides: (i) profile reconstruction degrades with history length while service-task accuracy stays flat, despite both drawing on the same memory; (ii) no system both keeps facts that stay true and replaces facts that change, with errors clustering on preferences and on naming the exact referent; and (iii) over 93% of failures trace to what the memory retrieves, not to the model writing the answer, so the largest room for improvement lies in memory itself.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used as autonomous agents in complex, long-horizon applications, where effective memory is critical for sustained performance. Yet existing memory benchmarks are largely dialogue-centric, while real agent memory consists of continuous agent-environment interaction trajectories composed of states, actions, observations, and tool outputs. To address this gap, we introduce AMA-Bench (Agent Memory with Any length), a benchmark for evaluating long-horizon memory in realistic agentic settings. AMA-Bench combines real-world agent trajectories from representative applications with expert-curated QA, as well as synthetic trajectories that scale to arbitrary horizons with rule-based QA. Our study shows that existing memory systems underperform because they fail to capture causal and objective information and rely heavily on lossy similarity-based retrieval. We further propose AMA-Agent, a memory system based on causality-graph construction and tool-augmented retrieval. AMA-Agent achieves 57.22% accuracy on AMA-Bench, outperforming the strongest baseline by 11.16%. Resources are available at: https://ama-bench.github.io/.

Personalized agents that interact with users over long periods must maintain persistent memory across sessions and update it as circumstances change. However, existing benchmarks predominantly frame long-term memory evaluation as fact retrieval from past conversations, providing limited insight into agents' ability to consolidate memory over time or handle frequent knowledge updates. We introduce Memora, a long-term memory benchmark spanning weeks to months long user conversations. The benchmark evaluates three memory-grounded tasks: remembering, reasoning, and recommending. To ensure data quality, we employ automated memory-grounding checks and human evaluation. We further introduce Forgetting-Aware Memory Accuracy (FAMA), a metric that penalizes reliance on obsolete or invalidated memory when evaluating long-term memory. Evaluations of four LLMs and six memory agents reveal frequent reuse of invalid memories and failures to reconcile evolving memories. Memory agents offer marginal improvements, exposing shortcomings in long-term memory for personalized agents.
