A developer observed their AI routing agent repeatedly making the same decision 47 times, each instance consuming tokens and deliberation without retaining memory of previous outcomes.

The developer noted that older cognitive architectures, like SOAR from 1987, offered a solution through recall, suggesting that memory integration could replace redundant reasoning in modern AI agents.
