MARS：面向会话级 LLM 助手的记忆感知路由框架

View PDF HTML (experimental)

Abstract:Long-term LLM assistants must repeatedly decide what prior context to expose and which model should answer as an interaction evolves. Existing memory systems and model routers usually make these decisions separately, although memory construction changes the evidence, distractors, and difficulty of the resulting input. We introduce MARS, a memory-aware routing framework that uses session state as a shared control interface between memory construction and model selection. A Query and Topic Manager (QTM) estimates compact decision-relevant state that guides a fixed state-conditioned memory policy and an online router, enabling each turn to receive an appropriate memory view and a suitable model under a quality-memory-cost trade-off. We evaluate MARS on RealMem and MultiChallenge with 16 system configurations each, covering long-history memory-driven interaction and bounded sessions with structured context interference. On RealMem, MARS preserves 98.2% of full-context GPT-4o's QA while using only 14.5% of its generation API cost, including both generation and controller calls for MARS, and achieves the strongest measured memory-recall and retrieval scores among compared systems. On MultiChallenge, MARS trails the strongest static system overall but approaches its performance at lower recorded cost on a mechanism-focused subset. Together, these results support a favorable quality-memory-cost trade-off for long-history, memory-dependent interaction.
