AI agent memory extraction latency reduced with new IPC verb

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer measured the latency of their AI agent's memory extraction process, finding that a 60-second polling interval resulted in a p90 latency of 61 minutes. This was because the polling interval only dictates how often the system checks for new data, not how long the extraction itself takes. To address this, a new `extract_now` IPC verb was introduced, allowing the system to be woken up immediately when new information needs to be processed, thereby reducing lag without impacting the extraction process's throughput.

    A 60-second poll gave my memory extractor a 61-minute p90

    <p>If your agent has long-term memory, there's probably a background job that reads finished conversations and turns them into facts. It probably polls, and the interval is probably something that sounds fine, like 60 seconds. You likely haven't measured how long a turn actually …
