Meta LVMH/SEEM：长视频记忆新策略，三基准均值65.7%

Abstract:Long-video agents must map hours or days of multimodal evidence into a bounded context while respecting token and latency budgets, making memory design a context-management challenge. Existing memory systems largely rely on hand-designed policies, leaving open how to jointly optimize memory design for performance and efficiency. We propose Long Video Meta-memory Harness (LVMH), an automated multi-agent framework that formulates memory-policy development as multi-objective code search around a fixed answer model. To guard against self-certification and development-set overfitting, LVMH separates implementation from independent review and enforces protected observation boundaries. Persistent meta-memory records past proposals, traces, costs, and failures to guide subsequent policy revisions. Through this harness, we discover Self-Evolving Evidence Memory (SEEM), a "text-first, vision-second" policy that answers from compact structured event memory and evidence specialists, consulting localized frames through a selective visual gate. The policy evolved on EgoLifeQA generalizes to unseen benchmarks, outperforming Meta-Harness on both Ego-R1 Bench and Video-MME (L) with GPT-5 mini. Across the three benchmarks, SEEM with GPT-5 achieves 65.7% average accuracy, surpassing the previous state of the art by 7.7 percentage points with approximately 32x lower average evaluation token use and 91x shorter average response time.
