DyadMem: A Long-Term Memory Benchmark of How Agents Work with Users
Summary
Gold Memory QA ranges from 78.7% to 96.3%, yet Full Pipeline QA averages only 47.7% for open-weight models and 57.4% for proprietary models. DyadMem separately evaluates Capture, gold-conditioned standalone Update, Recall, Gold Memory QA, and Full Pipeline QA, making failures localizable rather than visible only through final-answer accuracy. Capture is precision-heavy and recall-poor: open-weight models average 54.0% precision but only 15.1% recall. [S1]

When to apply
Use when asking where an agent memory system fails: writing memories, updating them, retrieving them, or answering once the right memories are present.
