PEAM: Parametric Embodied Agent Memory through Contrastive Internalization of Experience in Minecraft

arXiv:2605.27762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present PEAM, a Parametric Embodied Agent Memory framework in Minecraft that transforms agent memory from inference-time retrieval into parameter-resident skills internalized through experience. PEAM pairs a slow deliberative LLM for open-ended reasoning with a fast parametric module for reflexive execution of consolidated skills. The fast module is a multimodal Mixture-of-Experts LoRA architecture with per-category physically isolated adapters, enabling parameter-level continual learning without catastrophic forgetting. We treat failure as a

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous advancements in LLM architectures and reinforcement learning provide the necessary technical foundation for developing more sophisticated agent memory systems.

Why it’s important

This development represents a significant step towards more autonomous and capable AI agents that can learn and adapt continuously without catastrophic forgetting, enhancing their real-world applicability.

What changes

Agent memory is transitioning from primarily retrieval-based to more parameter-resident, internalized skills, leading to faster, more robust, and continually learning AI systems.
