Xmemory: Benchmarking Structured AI Memory Against RAG and Hybrid RAG
The paper introduces xmemory, a schema-grounded AI memory system that shifts memory processing from retrieval-based recall to a structured, iterative write process for improved accuracy and reliability. It evaluates xmemory on extraction and end-to-end memory benchmarks, showing superior performance compared to existing RAG and hybrid RAG approaches. The results emphasize that architectural design is more critical than model scale or retrieval capacity for tasks requiring stable facts and stateful computation.
