Abstract

Memory is essential as language agents move from isolated tasks to long-horizon, stateful workflows, yet existing evaluations often reduce it to retrieval or question answering. We introduce ContextWeave, a longitudinal benchmark that evaluates whether recalled experience improves downstream agent performance in realistic office-work streams. ContextWeave reconstructs privacy-preserved, multi-month workflows of 14 participants into 1,005 executable tasks, including 568 core evaluation tasks, with instructions, containerized environments, trajectories, and task-specific rubrics. It measures workspace quality and alignment with participant-specific preferences, complemented by diagnostics of relevance, continuity, solvability, and robustness to misleading recall. Across six memory components under a fixed model, the strongest configuration raises Workspace Score from 68.08 to 78.20 and Preference Score from 41.50 to 70.60. With a fixed memory component, recall improves both outcomes for all five tested base models, although gains vary substantially. Our analysis shows that actionable, experience-rich memory supports workflow continuation and reduces redundant exploration more effectively than compact summaries, while it can also be more susceptible to misleading recall. These findings motivate memory systems that optimize not only retrieval relevance but also reliable use during execution.

PolyWorkBench: Benchmarking LLM Agents for Cross-Lingual Long-Horizon Workflows

Benchmark evaluations reveal that agent performance varies substantially across languages and drops sharply on the harder cross-lingual tasks, and analysis shows that multilingual execution exposes systematic failure modes across planning, tool interaction, and decision-making in long-horizon agents.

ClawTrack: Towards Trace-Level Evaluation and Improvement of Real-World Autonomous Agents

ClawTrack is presented, a dual-assessment benchmark that simultaneously measures what an agent achieves (Task Score) and how it achieves it (Process Score) and finds that process scores effectively attribute success and failure to specific reasoning dimensions, filtering lucky passes invisible to outcome-only evaluation.

IFCMemoryBench: Evaluating Long-Term Memory of LLM-Based Agents in BIM Information Retrieval

Long-term memory is becoming a core capability of LLM-based agents, but existing evaluations largely test conversational recall in open-domain or persona-grounded settings. We argue that a stronger test is whether an agent can reuse information from prior sessions while acting over a live, structured, domain-specific environment. We study this problem in Building Information Modelling (BIM), a professional engineering workflow where agents must query large IFC models while also relying on project specifications, client decisions, and engineering conventions often discussed in conversation but absent from the model. We introduce IFCMemoryBench, a benchmark for evaluating long-term memory in LLM-based BIM information retrieval. IFCMemoryBench contains 143 multi-session tasks across 19 projects and 4,016 prior sessions, derived from incomplete-information questions in IFC-Bench v2. Each task seeds missing project context across earlier conversations and later asks a probe question that can be answered only by combining remembered context with live IFC queries. Our evaluation framework decomposes memory performance into ingestion, retrieval, and utilization, and measures both answer quality and memory quality with expert-validated LLM judges. We evaluate representative vector-, graph-, and file-based memory systems. The strongest system achieves only 32.4% answer accuracy under a deployment-realistic ingestion scope, and remains below 60% under oracle-filtered ingestion or a stronger probe agent. Analysis shows that current general-purpose memory systems often retrieve topically relevant context but store project knowledge as incomplete or fragmented facts. These results reveal a domain-transfer gap in agent memory and suggest that reliable professional agents require domain-aware memory representations linking conversations, project knowledge, and structured model entities.

DuMateBench: Evaluating Autonomous Agents in Complex Real-World Workflows

Autonomous agents are increasingly adopted to complete complex, multi-tool workflows in real-world settings. However, existing benchmarks typically separate tasks by application or capability and evaluate agents in environments that are cleaner and more stable than those encountered in practice. We introduce DuMateBench, a real-session benchmark reconstructed from anonymized and privacy-screened user sessions collected from a large-scale production agent platform. Each task preserves the relevant pre-solution interaction history, persistent configurations, and workspace state, and is then validated through human verification. The resulting benchmark comprises 200 tasks spanning 8 broad scenarios and 17 fine-grained capability categories, with most tasks requiring multiple capability coordination. We execute these tasks in isolated Docker containers injected with three forms of real-world environmental complexity: Insufficient, Unstable, and Noisy, and assess performance using a hybrid deterministic and LLM-as-Judge evaluation protocol. Experiments across five representative autonomous-agent frameworks paired with four state-of-the-art LLMs reveal substantial gaps in strict task completion. Complementary robustness, efficiency, and diagnostic analyses further show that performance under environmental perturbations is jointly shaped by the capabilities of the LLM and the surrounding agent framework. The code and data are publicly available at https://dumatebench.com/.
