  "title": "MemFit: Efficient Long-Term Agentic Memory",
  "summary": "MemFit replaces LLM-driven memory construction and consolidation (as in MemGPT-style systems) with verbatim append-only turn storage, segment-summary indexing, and LLM-free retrieval combining lexical and semantic signals with cross-encoder reranking. Costs include an ever-growing raw store with associated embedding and reranking infrastructure, retrieval latency from the multi-path pipeline plus cross-encoder stage, and the engineering complexity of maintaining the indexing stack. Failure modes include storage growth without bound in long deployments, reranker and embedding quality bottlenecks on domain-specific conversations, potential degradation relative to LLM-curated memory on tasks requiring genuine consolidation or abstraction, and unverified performance on workloads unlike the three benchmarks reported.",
  "rationale": "The design eliminates recurring LLM write costs, which directly suits a constrained budget, but its retrieval-heavy pipeline and benchmark-only evidence require validation on the reader's own conversational workload before production adoption.",
