MEMI hits 97% on a robot memory benchmark by inferring what to remember
Yuejiang Liu released MEMI, which treats robot memory as an inverse problem: infer what the robot must have remembered from the decisions in its demonstrations. On RoboMME's 16 memory-dependent tasks he reports 97.0% end to end and 99.4% with a low-level controller, and says even Claude Haiku climbs from 73.9 to 90.8%. Code, prompts and logs are released.
