Amazon 论文：Agent 记忆评测需直接核对存储事实而非仅看QA分数

New Amazon paper shows that teams shipping agent memory should check what actually got stored, since QA scores alone did not reveal which pipeline stage was failing.

Agent memory benchmarks grade the agent's answers, which mixes memory with retrieval and answer writing. A strong LLM can hide a broken memory store, and a retrieval miss can make a correct one look bad.

They built FEB-30, 30 scripted fact histories turned into 147 documents, so the correct memory state is known after every document. On a memory system built like Mem0 and Hindsight, they compared the stored facts with that truth and with QA scores.

The 2 scores differed by 16.8 points on average, and pass/fail verdicts disagreed on 21% of fact histories. The system picked the right memory action, like update or reinforce, only 20.1% of the time, which QA never showed.

If you build agent memory, test the stored facts directly after each update, alongside end-to-end QA.
