Ran across and revealing research paper today by the group MemGPT regarding ground breaking techniques for overcoming memory and context limitation of the current crop of LLM Models. So I figured I’d use an affiliate tool I use called Unriddle which allows you to quickly and easily query and chat documents, as well as summarize and take notes on documents. The results were as always compelling.

AI Defense🛡️: Please provide a summary of this article at the high school level. Highlight top 3 items for each of the following categories. Problem space, solution, impact
Unriddle 🧩: This article discusses the limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs) and introduces a new system called MemGPT to overcome these issues.
- Problem Space:
- LLMs have a limited context window, meaning they can only remember a certain amount of information at a time.
- This limitation affects their performance in tasks like document analysis and maintaining long-term memory in conversations.
- Current methods to manage memory in LLMs, like recursive summarization, are lossy and lead to gaps in the system’s memory.
- Solution:
- MemGPT uses a memory hierarchy and control flow similar to operating systems to manage the limited context windows of LLMs.
- It can process lengthy texts beyond the context limits of current LLMs by effectively paging relevant context in and out of memory.
- For conversational agents, MemGPT enables maintaining long-term memory, consistency, and evolvability over extended dialogues.
- Impact:
- MemGPT can unlock the potential of LLMs even when constrained by fixed context lengths.
- It opens numerous avenues for future exploration, including applying MemGPT to other domains with massive or unbounded contexts, integrating different memory tier technologies like databases or caches, and further improving control flow and memory management policies.
- However, the current implementation of MemGPT relies on proprietary closed-source models, which is a significant limitation.
AI Defense🛡️: What are the current limitations to this approach?
Unriddle 🧩: The current limitations of the MemGPT approach primarily stem from its reliance on proprietary closed-source models like OpenAI’s GPT-4, which are fine-tuned specifically for function calling. While these models perform well, their inner workings are not publicly disclosed, limiting the broader application of MemGPT. Furthermore, other models like GPT-3.5 and the Llama 2 70B model variants, even when fine-tuned for function calling, often generate incorrect function calls or hallucinate functions outside the provided schema. Therefore, the performance of MemGPT is currently dependent on the performance of these specialized models.
AI Defense🛡️: Are there instances where reference authors are cited multiple times and if so who is the most cited?
Unriddle 🧩: The authors that appear multiple times in the provided article summary are Jeff Wu, Long Ouyang, Daniel M Ziegler, Nisan Stiennon, Ryan Lowe, Jan Leike, and Paul Christiano. They are referenced twice, once for a preprint in 2021a and again for a similar preprint in 2021b. Therefore, these authors are the most frequently cited in the context provided.
