## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[A-MEM: Agentic Memory for LLM Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2025-mem-agentic-memory-llm-agents/)** *(2025 · 171 citations)* LLM agents need long-term memory to reuse past experience. Existing memory modules mostly just store and fetch records. Even graph-based designs such as Mem0 depend on fixed schemas and on read/write points that developers hard-code into the workflow, which makes them hard to adapt to new tasks.
2. **[The Impact of Reasoning Step Length on Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jin-2024-impact-reasoning-step-length-large/)** *(2024 · 119 citations)* Chain of Thought (CoT) prompting helps large language models reason, but it is unclear which part of a CoT prompt drives the gains.
