Agentic AI's Memory Bottleneck Just Got Smashed — Here's What MRAgent Does Differently

Researchers at the National University of Singapore built MRAgent, a memory framework that treats agent recall as an active reconstruction process rather than static retrieval — slashing token consumption from 3.26M (LangMem) to 118K per query on long-horizon benchmarks.

Agents as Identities: The IAM Gap Every Enterprise Is Ignoring

AI agents are quietly becoming privileged insiders in enterprise systems — yet most security teams have no inventory, governance model, or least-privilege controls for them. An opinion piece by Todd Thiemann (principal analyst, Omdia) on TechTarget provides one of the clearest frameworks for understanding identity security for AI agents, while a 2026 survey finds 82% of organizations have discovered AI agents created without security's knowledge, and 54% have already suffered agent-related security incidents. The identity layer that IAM teams spent a decade building was designed for humans and service accounts, not autonomous agents that create, use, and rotate credentials at machine speed.
