MemT-1.0 introduces a novel architecture that internalizes memory directly into model computation, offering significant speedups and storage reductions compared to standard retrieval-augmented or full context approaches. By integrating Gated DeltaNet-2 and Mixture-of-Storage, this work advances the field of memory foundation models with practical implications for agentic task performance and long-context handling.
MemT-1.0: Towards Memory-Native Evolution
arXiv:2610.26825v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Memory-native evolution requires making memory an intrinsic capability of foundation models, enabling them to continuously accumulate and utilize information. To this end, we introduce MemT-1.0, a new architecture of memory foundation models that internalize memory as part of model computation. Building on Metis, MemT-1.0 employs Gated DeltaNet-2 with a stable token-level memory update mechanism within each turn. We further introduce Mixture-of-Storage to scale native memory capacity. Following a deliberate backbone preparation, we develop a two-stage training pipeline consisting of continued pre-training and post-training, supported by 34B tokens of training data and efficient training and inference infrastructure. We release a model family comprising MemT-1.0-Nano and MemT-1.0-Flash, and conduct a comprehensive evaluation of memory and general capabilities. The results show that they outperform the parametric memory baselines on average and remain competitive with retrieval-augmented methods, while largely preserving general capabilities. At a history length of 128K tokens, MemT-1.0-Nano achieves approximately $1.86\times$ end-to-end inference speedup and a $66\times$ reduction in persistent storage relative to full context KV cache. By internalizing retrieved procedural experience, MemT-1.0 improves task success on agentic tasks, providing a practical step toward memory-native evolution.
