arXiv:2608.13883v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Most agent-memory benchmarks test post-hoc recall, whereas MemoryArena evaluates whether memory supports interdependent, multi-session task completion. We compare MemoryLake, a structured multi-track memory backend, with Mem0, text-embedding-3-small vector RAG, and a long-context control across all five MemoryArena domains. The systems share the same agent framework, requested gpt-5-mini model alias, task samples, and scoring code; the memory integration is the intentionally changed component. Because each backend bundles write, retrieval, consolidation, budgeting, and prompt-assembly choices, the study is a matched system-level comparison, not a representation-only ablation or a cost-matched experiment. On the shared evaluation sets, MemoryLake has the highest observed success rate (SR) in mathematics (9/40), physics (12/20), and progressive retrieval (4/20). Every system has zero SR in travel planning, and web shopping yields a single bundle-level success (long context, 1/150); MemoryLake ranks third on both the travel soft process score and shopping step match. Following MemoryArena's suite-level convention, a post-hoc equal-weight average over the five SRs is 20.5% for MemoryLake versus 13.6% for the best comparator. These are point estimates: sample sizes are modest, confidence intervals overlap, and we do not report paired significance tests. A separate MemoryLake-only run over all 221 progressive queries yields a failure-counted SR of 26.7% (59/221) and is not a baseline comparison. The results support a …
