VoiceMem gives voice agents streaming dual-brain memory
Researchers just open-sourced VoiceMem, a dedicated long-term memory system built specifically for real-time voice agents. It splits memory into a left brain for facts and a right brain for emotion, speculatively fetching memories while the user is still speaking with just 134 ms latency. Why it matters: It keeps voice companions responsive without freezing to dig through conversation logs, cutting per-turn overhead to roughly 430 tokens.
