Akashic: The New AI Memory System That Keeps Conversations Sharp
Researchers introduced Akashic, a low-overhead memory system for LLM inference that uses MemAttention to organize context into bounded chunks and model semantic relationships. This could make chatbots and AI assistants much more efficient and accurate by reducing prefill costs and avoiding context limits.
New AI Technique Helps Agents Handle Long, Complex Tasks
Researchers developed a method called AdaCoM to help AI agents manage information overload during long tasks. Unlike prior approaches that require retraining the agent itself, AdaCoM adapts context management strategies to each agent, making it practical for closed-source systems.
