AI agents repeatedly make same decision due to lack of memory

A user observed their AI routing agent repeatedly making the same decision 47 times, each instance involving deliberation and token consumption without retaining memory of previous outcomes. This led to paying a "planner tax" for redundant reasoning. The user noted that older cognitive architectures like SOAR, developed in 1987, utilized recall to replace reasoning, suggesting a potential improvement over current agent designs. AI

IMPACT Highlights a potential inefficiency in current AI agent design, suggesting a need for memory mechanisms to improve performance and reduce computational costs.
