DeepSeek: More memory is not always better for agents: evaluation of eight models shows dosage should be calibrated by capability

Agent memory is not a feature to switch on casually; its dose must be calibrated to model capability. Strong models are better suited to injecting a full set of guides, with DeepSeek-V3.2 (671B MoE) improving task completion by +9.5 percentage points. Weaker models perform best with curated retrieval, with gpt-oss-120b (117B MoE) improving by +16.1pp while adding only +5% tokens. This method requires no weight updates or manual annotation; it works by distilling guides from an agent’s past trajectories and injecting them at inference time.

Enterprise services: If you want to put AI into small devices like smartwatches and home appliances, models of several hundred MB will not fit, while calling APIs online is insecure.

If you want to put AI into small devices like smartwatches and home devices, models that are hundreds of MB won’t fit, while calling online APIs is not secure. The Cactus team’s Needle 2 takes an ultra-small approach, compressing a 45-million-parameter model into a 14MB file that uses only 28MB of memory when running. It focuses on three tasks: understanding instructions to call tools, operating devices, and extracting structured data from a piece of text. Its output is constrained by grammar, so it always returns standard-format data that programs can use directly. Each response also comes with a confidence score: handle the certain ones locally, and pass uncertain ones to a cloud-based large model. The division of labor is well thought out.
