MemPilot: Orchestrating On-Demand Multimodal Memory Curation for LLM Agents
MemPilot：為多模態 AI Agent 打造的按需動態記憶整理框架
Traditional agent memory systems preprocess data in a query-agnostic manner, discarding essential details and wasting resources. MemPilot solves this by utilizing a multi-step LLM policy trained via reinforcement learning. At runtime, it dynamically decides whether to retrieve from static memory or delegate query-specific curation of raw multimodal histories to heterogeneous LLMs/VLMs. By controlling evidence amount, instructions, model selection, and visual access, MemPilot achieves optimal tradeoffs on multimodal agent-memory benchmarks.
Key points
On-Demand Memory Curation
The system dynamically decides at runtime whether to retrieve from processed memory or delegate query-specific curation of raw multimodal history to heterogeneous models.
Multi-Objective RL Optimization
Utilizes objective-wise advantage decoupling and marginal utility estimation to successfully coordinate competing performance, cost, and latency targets.
Fine-Grained Allocation Control
The policy controls evidence amount, curation instructions, model selection, and visual access, enabling highly granular control over runtime computations.
How it works
Why it matters
As multimodal agents tackle longer interactions, managing rich historical data becomes expensive. MemPilot shifts memory construction to runtime adaptation, giving developers a flexible control knob over performance, cost, and latency. This makes the deployment of complex, long-term multimodal agents economically viable and responsive to specific business constraints.

How to use it
- 1Long-term multimodal assistants: Selectively retrieving and curating historical visual and textual details across long-term interactions.
- 2Cost-sensitive agent operations: Dynamically switching to smaller models or reducing visual processing under tight hardware or latency constraints.
Limitations & caveats
- The performance of the RL policy depends on training scenarios and may require additional fine-tuning when exposed to completely novel multimodal domains.
- The multi-step decision-making policy itself introduces a minor computational and latency overhead during runtime selection.
