AI agents repeatedly make same decision due to lack of memory

A developer observed their AI routing agent repeatedly making the same decision 47 times without retaining any memory of previous outcomes. This led to inefficient processing, described as paying a "planner tax." The developer noted that SOAR, a cognitive architecture from 1987, offered a solution through recall rather than repeated reasoning. AI

IMPACT Highlights a potential inefficiency in current AI agent design, suggesting memory recall as a more efficient alternative to repeated reasoning.
