Abstract

Providing AI agents with reliable long-term memory that does not hallucinate remains an open problem. Current approaches to memory for LLM agents -- sliding windows, summarization, embedding-based RAG, and flat fact extraction -- each reduce token cost but introduce catastrophic information loss, semantic drift, or uncontrolled hallucination about the user. The structural reason is architectural: every published memory system on the LoCoMo benchmark treats conversation as a retrieval problem over raw or lightly summarized dialogue segments, and none reports adversarial robustness, the ability to refuse questions about facts the user never disclosed. We present Synthius-Mem, a brain-inspired structured persona memory system that takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of retrieving what was said, Synthius-Mem extracts what is known about the person: a full persona extraction pipeline decomposes conversations into six cognitive domains (biography, experiences, preferences, social circle, work, psychometrics), consolidates and deduplicates per domain, and retrieves structured facts via CategoryRAG at 21.79 ms latency. On the LoCoMo benchmark (ACL 2024, 10 conversations, 1,813 questions), Synthius-Mem achieves 94.37% accuracy, exceeding all published systems including MemMachine (91.69%, adversarial score is not reported) and human performance (87.9 F1). Core memory fact accuracy reaches 98.64%. Adversarial robustness, the hallucination resistance metric that no competing system reports, reaches 99.55%. Synthius-Mem reduces token consumption by ~5x compared to full-context replay while achieving higher accuracy. Synthius-Mem achieves state-of-the-art results on LoCoMo and is, to our knowledge, the only persona memory system that both exceeds human-level performance and reports adversarial robustness.
