TL;DR

ReflectWorld-MM is proposed, an entity-oriented multimodal memory system for open-ended video streams that achieves the best accuracy on all six long-video and lifelong-memory benchmarks, outperforming strong memory agents and a frontier model.

Abstract

Building assistants that can continually watch the world, remember what they see, and reason over their accumulated experience is a long-standing goal, and recently multimodal agents equipped with long-term memory over video streams have attracted increasing interest. Unfortunately, existing systems either keep their memory inside the model context or in a flat feature store, and organize it around frames rather than around the persistent entities a stream is really about, which confines them to bounded videos and weakens their ability to track who and what reappears over time. In this paper, we propose ReflectWorld-MM, an entity-oriented multimodal memory system for open-ended video streams. It consists of three parts. The first is a perception front-end that turns an audiovisual stream into entity-resolved observations under a bounded short-term memory. The second is a hierarchical long-term memory, grounded in human memory theory, that couples a multi-scale episodic memory, an evolving entity-centric semantic memory, and a procedural memory. The third is a complete realization, built for real-world operation, that ingests arbitrary streams and plugs into off-the-shelf assistants. Across six long-video and lifelong-memory benchmarks, ReflectWorld-MM achieves the best accuracy on all six, outperforming strong memory agents and a frontier model.

Parametric Multimodal User Memory: Storing What Captions Cannot Carry

This work ground perceptual memory in the model, decomposing recall into two subproblems: a vision-language model grounds the referent in context (what and where), and a dedicated encoder extracts an identity key (who), stored as one inline token read by attention at generation with no external round-trip.
