LiveMem: Maintaining Memory State Continuity in Long-Running LLM Inference
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read
In 30 seconds
- What happened
- LiveMem adds a persistent memory state to LLMs that survives context window changes, enabling long-running assistants to answer questions about information no longer in active context.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building stateful AI assistants and agents that handle extended conversations where interaction history exceeds the model's context window capacity.
- Watch out
- Paper is recent preprint with no indication of open-source release, production readiness, or comparison against deployed long-context solutions like extended context windows.

The patterns behind this
- Proactive Clarification & Active Disambiguation
- Contextual Unstructured Memory
- Eval-Driven Development (Agent CI)
Each one covers how the technique works, when it earns its cost, and where it breaks.
