The best-benchmarked open-source AI memory system.

Key details

• The only official sources for MemPalace are this GitHub repository, the PyPI package, and the docs site at mempalaceofficial.com.
• Any other domain — including mempalace.tech — is an impostor and may distribute malware.
• Details and timeline: docs/HISTORY.md.
• Verbatim storage, pluggable backend, 96.6% R@5 raw on LongMemEval — zero API calls.

Results & evidence

• Verbatim storage, pluggable backend, 96.6% R@5 raw on LongMemEval — zero API calls.

Limitations / unknowns

• Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

• Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
• Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
• Track whether independent teams report matching results.

However, as users increasingly construct agents by composing local tools, remote APIs, and diverse models, an equally important optimization problem arises on the client side.

What's new

Existing research has primarily focused on server-side efficiency, proposing methods such as caching, speculative execution, traffic scheduling, and load balancing to reduce the cost of serving agentic workloads.

Key details

• Existing research has primarily focused on server-side efficiency, proposing methods such as caching, speculative execution, traffic scheduling, and load balancing to reduce the cost of serving agentic workloads.
• However, as users increasingly construct agents by composing local tools, remote APIs, and diverse models, an equally important optimization problem arises on the client side.
• Client-side optimization asks how developers should allocate the resources available to them, including model choice, local tools, and API budget across pipeline stages, subject to application-specific quality, cost, and latency constraints.
• Because these objectives depend on the task and deployment setting, they cannot be determined by server-side systems alone.

Results & evidence

• arXiv:2604.06296v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI agents are increasingly deployed in real-world applications, including systems such as Manus, OpenClaw, and coding agents.
• This problem is consequential in practice: at matched accuracy, the cost gap between the best and worst model combinations can reach 13-32x in our experiments.
• Across four benchmarks, UCB-E recovers near-optimal accuracy while reducing evaluation budget by 62-76\% relative to brute-force search.

Key details

• The core innovation of MindDR lies in a collaborative three-agent architecture (Planning Agent, DeepSearch Agent, and Report Agent) and a four-stage agent-specialized training pipeline comprising SFT cold-start, Search-RL, Report-RL and preference alignment.
• With this regime, MindDR demonstrates competitive performance even with \textasciitilde30B-scale models.
• Specifically, MindDR achieves 45.7\% on BrowseComp-ZH, 42.8\% on BrowseComp, 46.5\% on WideSearch, 75.0\% on xbench-DS, and 52.5 on DeepResearch Bench, outperforming comparable-scale open-source agent systems and rivaling larger-scale models.
• MindDR has been deployed as an online product in Li Auto.

What's new

To mitigate these limitations, we propose Category-Wise Contrastive Decoding (CWCD), a novel and modular framework designed to enhance structured radiology report generation (SRRG).

Key details

• Recent radiology-focused foundation models, such as LLaVA-Rad and Maira-2, have positioned multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) at the forefront of automated radiology report generation (RRG).
• However, despite these advances, current foundation models generate reports in a single forward pass.
• This decoding strategy diminishes attention to visual tokens and increases reliance on language priors as generation proceeds, which in turn introduces spurious pathology co-occurrences in the generated reports.
