AI Agent Memory: 4 Dimensions, Benchmarks, Tool Tiers

No single tool solves agent memory's four dimensions—storage, curation, retrieval, lifecycle. ECAI benchmarks show full-context approaches hit 100% accuracy but with 9.87s median latency and 14x token costs; selective systems like Mem0 score 91.6% on LoCoMo at <7k tokens/call. Match tiers to stack and bottlenecks like temporal queries.

Claude 4.7 Leads Coding Benchmarks but Burns More Tokens

Claude Opus 4.7 achieves state-of-the-art on SWE-Bench Verified and Pro via precise instruction following and output verification, excelling in agentic coding and UI generation, but uses significantly more tokens per task (shifting reasoning tiers up), increasing effective costs despite unchanged $5/$25 per million pricing.
