MemDrift (SimpleMem): leaderboard

Memory-induced tool drift (MemDrift, Dabas et al., 2026) with the SimpleMem memory framework: personal-life preferences are planted in a simulated three-turn conversation, stored and retrieved by SimpleMem, then a subset of the professional tool-call scenarios is run. Claude Opus 4.6 rates the deviation of five tool calls from five no-memory calls from 1 (unchanged) to 5; lower is better.

Metric: Deflection score under biased memory (1-5; Claude Opus 4.6 judge compares five tool calls against the no-memory calls, 1 = unchanged), memories stored and retrieved by SimpleMem, mean of five bias dimensions over a subset of the scenarios. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around August 2028. 2 models tracked.
