Agent Memory Beyond RAG: Why Your Agent Needs a Write Path, Not a Retriever
Agent memory is not RAG: it needs a write path, not just retrieval. Memory types, temporal knowledge graphs, forgetting by design, and why chat logs fall short.
In-depth analysis of AI architectures, deployment patterns, and the research shaping the field.

Kimi K3 runs linear attention in 3 of 4 layers and claims it beats full attention. What the 48B evidence shows, and what stays unverified at 2.8T scale.

Agent memory is not RAG: it needs a write path, not just retrieval. Memory types, temporal knowledge graphs, forgetting by design, and why chat logs fall short.

Agent evaluation for tool use: why pass@1 hides unreliability, the pass^k metric, BFCL and tau-bench, state-based vs LLM-judge scoring, and building a harness.

The KV cache is the real bottleneck in LLM serving: 70-90% of GPU memory at long context. PagedAttention, prefix caching, MLA, and quantization explained.

World models explained: latent dynamics models, generative simulators like Genie 3, and language world models inside LLMs, plus concrete tests for coherence.

DeepSeek DSpark adds semi-autoregressive drafting and load-aware verification to speculative decoding. What is new versus EAGLE-3, and why the benchmarks are not yet independently verified.

Effective context length is far shorter than the advertised window. What RULER and NoLiMa reveal about 1M-token models, why context rots, and when RAG still wins.

A hands-on speculative decoding tutorial for vLLM: how it works, runnable n-gram and draft-model examples on Qwen3, EAGLE-3, and where the speedup disappears.

A technical guide to LLM quantization: FP8 training, NVFP4 and MXFP4, W4A4 inference, the outlier problem, and where low-bit precision quietly breaks accuracy.

LLM evaluation is breaking down: benchmark saturation, contamination, and biased LLM-as-a-judge setups make leaderboard numbers misleading. Here is what to measure instead.
