DMF: A Deterministic Memory Framework for Conversational AI Agents
The Deterministic Memory Framework (DMF) aims to enhance memory systems for conversational AI agents. It replaces traditional LLM-based summarization with a deterministic approach that reduces token costs and improves coherence. Experimental results demonstrate DMF's efficiency, achieving comparable accuracy while significantly lowering memory management costs.
- ▪DMF utilizes a CPU-first approach grounded in classical NLP analysis and vector geometry.
- ▪The framework assigns a Survival Score to each interaction, governing relevance as new interactions occur.
- ▪DMF achieves up to 242 times fewer tokens used over entire conversations compared to existing memory layers.

Existing approaches rely predominantly on large language model (LLM)-based summarisation at write time, which introduces non-determinism, escalating token costs, and opacity in pruning decisions.
