Does Your Agent's Memory Survive a Model Upgrade? A Controlled Study of Memory Portability
Model upgrades are routine; memory migrations are not. An agent can keep the same memory store and still forget: a new model may interpret old notes differently, mixed embedding versions may break retrieval, and repair may fail without the original evidence. We compare memory as the same history is preserved verbatim for long-context reading (LC-RAW), divided into chunks for retrieval-augmented…
