DimMem: Dimensional Structuring for Efficient Long-Term Agent MemoryWentao Qiu, Haotian Hu, Fanyi Wang et al.
Large language model (LLM) agents require long-term memory to leverage information from past interactions. However, existing memory systems often face a fidelity--efficiency trade-off: raw dialogue histories are expensive, while flat facts or summaries may discard the structure needed for precise recall. We propose \textbf{DimMem}, a lightweight dimensional memory framework that represents each memory as an atomic, typed, and self-contained unit with explicit fields such as time, location, reason, purpose, and keywords. This representation exposes the structure needed for dimension-aware retrieval, memory update, and selective assistant-context recall without storing full histories in the model context. Across LoCoMo-10 and LongMemEval-S, DimMem achieves \textbf{81.43\%} and \textbf{78.20\%} overall accuracy, respectively, outperforming existing lightweight memory systems while reducing LoCoMo per-query token cost by \textbf{24\%}. We further show that dimensional memory extraction is learnable by compact models: after fine-tuning on the DimMem schema, a Qwen3-4B extractor surpasses LightMem with GPT-4.1-mini on both benchmarks and reaches performance comparable to, or better than, much larger extractors in key settings. These results suggest that explicit dimensional structuring is an effective and efficient foundation for long-term memory in LLM agents. Code is available at https://github.com/ChowRunFa/DimMem.
SpecPrefetch: Parameter-Efficient Expert Prefetching for Sparse MoE Foundation ModelsJinwei Kong, Runqi Meng, Fanyi Wang et al.
Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models expand foundation model capacity through conditional expert activation, but their full expert pools remain difficult to deploy under limited accelerator memory. Although expert offloading alleviates memory pressure by moving inactive experts to host memory or storage, it introduces a routing-dependent transfer bottleneck: required experts are known only after native top-\(K\) routing, which serializes routing, expert loading, and expert execution during inference. To address this bottleneck, we propose SpecPrefetch, a parameter-efficient prefetching framework for offloaded MoE inference. SpecPrefetch uses a shared lightweight adapter to predict next-layer expert candidates only for asynchronous transfer, while the frozen native router still determines the final executed experts. By separating transfer prediction from execution routing, SpecPrefetch reduces exposed expert-loading latency without changing pretrained routing semantics, so prediction errors affect transfer efficiency rather than model outputs. In addition, a window-aware scheduler prioritizes feasible transfers under cache and bandwidth constraints. Across Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B and DeepSeek-VL2-Tiny, SpecPrefetch achieves the best average expert recall in 9 out of 10 model-benchmark settings with substantially fewer trainable parameters than learned predictor baselines. On a Snapdragon 8 Elite device, SpecPrefetch further improves decoding throughput by up to \(20\%\) over a compute-optimized offloading runtime, demonstrating practical benefits for storage-constrained MoE deployment.
