Memory Retrieval Strategy Matters: A Comparative Study of Episodic Memory Backends for Reflexion-Style LLM Agents
Memory Retrieval Strategy Matters: A Comparative Study of Episodic Memory Backends for Reflexion-Style LLM Agents
We show that retrieval ordering within a backend class accounts for a larger performance gap (12pp) than the choice of backend itself. Vector DB leads on first-attempt success; SQL converges once failure-first ordering is applied.
