About LightMem

zjunlp/LightMem

[ICLR 2026] LightMem: Lightweight and Efficient Memory-Augmented Generation

This is a lightweight and efficient memory management framework for Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI Agents. It helps these AI systems remember and use information over long interactions, overcoming the limitations of short-term memory. Developers building intelligent applications can use this to give their AI systems long-term memory capabilities.
