The Token-Efficient Memory Algorithm Now Has Temporal Reasoning

Mem0 has updated its token-efficient memory algorithm with Temporal Reasoning and Memory Decay, aiming to improve retrieval of current, historical, and recently relevant information while retaining a retrieval budget below 7,000 tokens, compared with more than 25,000 tokens for many full-context approaches. The update raises overall scores to 92.5% on LoCoMo and 94.4% on LongMemEval, with particularly strong LongMemEval gains in temporal reasoning, from 93.2% to 97.0%, and multi-session reasoning, from 86.5% to 88.0%, though knowledge-update and single-session assistant results declined. Temporal Reasoning adds metadata about event timing, status, precision, and type, allowing the system to rerank memories so current facts are favored over outdated but semantically similar ones while preserving historical records. Memory Decay adjusts search rankings based on recency and use, boosting recently accessed memories and reducing the prominence of inactive ones without deleting data or affecting median latency. On LoCoMo, the system improved in single-hop, multi-hop, and open-domain categories, although its temporal category score decreased slightly. The new capabilities are available through the Mem0 platform, with Temporal Reasoning enabled by default for new projects and Memory Decay configurable through the dashboard or SDK, while the base algorithm remains open source.
