前言:為什麼記憶路由器如此重要?
在 AI Agent 的記憶架構中,記憶路由器(Memory Router) 是連接使用者輸入與長期記憶的核心樞紐。它決定哪些歷史記憶應該被召回,哪些記憶應該被忽略,以及如何組合這些記憶來支持當前的推理任務。
與傳統的「全量檢索」不同,記憶路由器通過智能的選擇策略,實現了:
- 精準性:只召回最相關的記憶,避免噪音干擾
- 效率性:減少不必要的檢索操作和 token 消耗
- 可擴展性:支持海量記憶的快速檢索
這篇文章將深入探討記憶路由器的核心設計原則、算法實現、以及實際應用案例。
記憶路由器的核心設計原則
1. 分類與分層記憶架構
現代 AI Agent 的記憶系統採用多層記憶架構,記憶路由器需要處理不同類型的記憶:
短期記憶(Working Memory)
- 特點:當前對話上下文,token 限制內
- 路由策略:全量載入,無需選擇
- 容量:通常 4K-32K tokens
中期記憶(Session Memory)
- 特點:一段使用期間內的狀態維持
- 路由策略:基於任務相關性選擇
- 容量:可達數百 K tokens
長期記憶(Long-term Memory)
- 特點:跨任務、多日、多主題的資料與概念
- 路由策略:智能路由,精準檢索
- 容量:數百萬到數十億向量
記憶路由器主要運作於長期記憶的檢索階段。
2. 路由策略分類
記憶路由器可以採用多種策略,每種策略適合不同的場景:
查詢對比路由(Query-Pairing)
- 原理:直接使用使用者查詢向量和歷史記憶向量進行相似度計算
- 優點:速度快,實現簡單
- 缺點:可能忽略記憶的上下文信息
- 適用場景:快速檢索、基礎記憶需求
回應對比路由(Response-Pairing)
- 原理:使用模型對歷史記憶的回應進行排名
- 優點:更精準,能捕捉上下文
- 缺點:速度較慢,需要額外的推理
- 適用場景:精準推理、複雜任務
混合路由(Hybrid Routing)
- 原理:結合查詢對比和回應對比,優化速度和精準度的平衡
- 優點:平衡速度和精準度
- 缺點:實現較複雜
- 適用場景:通用 AI Agent,平衡性能需求
記憶路由器的算法實現
1. 向量檢索核心算法
記憶路由器基於向量相似度搜索,核心算法包括:
余弦相似度(Cosine Similarity)
def cosine_similarity(query_embedding, memory_embedding):
return np.dot(query_embedding, memory_embedding) / (
np.linalg.norm(query_embedding) * np.linalg.norm(memory_embedding)
)
杰卡遜相似度(Jaccard Similarity)
def jaccard_similarity(query_embedding, memory_embedding):
intersection = np.logical_and(query_embedding > 0.5, memory_embedding > 0.5).sum()
union = np.logical_or(query_embedding > 0.5, memory_embedding > 0.5).sum()
return intersection / union if union > 0 else 0
E5 模型(多語言嵌入模型)

text-embedding-v2

Preface: Why is memory router so important?
In the memory architecture of AI Agent, Memory Router is the core hub connecting user input and long-term memory. It determines which historical memories should be recalled, which memories should be ignored, and how these memories should be combined to support current reasoning tasks.
Different from traditional “full search”, memory router achieves: through intelligent selection strategy:
- Accuracy: Recall only the most relevant memories to avoid noise interference
- Efficiency: Reduce unnecessary retrieval operations and token consumption
- Scalability: Supports fast retrieval of massive memories
This article will delve into the core design principles, algorithm implementation, and practical application cases of memory routers.
Core design principles of memory routers
1. Classification and hierarchical memory architecture
The memory system of modern AI Agent adopts a multi-layer memory architecture, and the memory router needs to handle different types of memory:
Short-term memory (Working Memory)
- Features: Current conversation context, within token limits
- Routing Strategy: Full load, no selection required
- Capacity: Typically 4K-32K tokens
Session Memory
- Feature: Status maintenance during a period of use
- Routing Policy: Selection based on task relevance
- Capacity: up to hundreds of K tokens
Long-term Memory
- Features: Cross-task, multi-day, multi-topic materials and concepts
- Routing Strategy: Intelligent routing, precise retrieval
- Capacity: millions to billions of vectors
The memory router operates primarily during the retrieval phase of long-term memory.
2. Routing policy classification
Memory routers can employ a variety of strategies, each suitable for different scenarios:
Query-Pairing
- Principle: Directly use user query vectors and historical memory vectors to calculate similarity
- Advantages: fast, simple to implement
- Disadvantages: Memorized contextual information may be ignored
- Applicable scenarios: fast retrieval, basic memory needs
Response-Pairing
- Principle: Use models to rank responses to historical memories
- Advantages: More accurate, able to capture context
- Disadvantages: Slower, requires additional inference
- Applicable scenarios: precise reasoning, complex tasks
Hybrid Routing
- Principle: Combine query comparison and response comparison to optimize the balance between speed and accuracy
- Benefits: Balance speed and accuracy
- Disadvantages: More complex to implement
- Applicable scenarios: General AI Agent, balancing performance requirements
Algorithm implementation of memory router
1. Vector retrieval core algorithm
The memory router is based on vector similarity search. The core algorithm includes:
Cosine Similarity
def cosine_similarity(query_embedding, memory_embedding):
return np.dot(query_embedding, memory_embedding) / (
np.linalg.norm(query_embedding) * np.linalg.norm(memory_embedding)
)
Jaccard Similarity
def jaccard_similarity(query_embedding, memory_embedding):
intersection = np.logical_and(query_embedding > 0.5, memory_embedding > 0.5).sum()
union = np.logical_or(query_embedding > 0.5, memory_embedding > 0.5).sum()
return intersection / union if union > 0 else 0

:param query_embedding: 查詢向量
:param memory_bank: 記憶銀行(向量數據庫)
:param top_k: 返回 top-k 條記憶
:param similarity_threshold: 相似度閾值
:return: 相關記憶列表
"""
# 向量搜索
results = memory_bank.search(
vector=query_embedding,
top_k=top_k * 2, # 多檢索一些,後續過濾
threshold=similarity_threshold
)
# 精選 top-k
selected = sorted(results, key=lambda x: x['score'], reverse=True)[:top_k]
return selected
Step 3: Context Merging

"""合併查詢和檢索到的記憶"""
context_parts = [query]
for memory in memories:
context_parts.append(f"記憶:{memory['content']}(相似度:{memory['score']:.2f})")
return "\n".join(context_parts)
3. Advanced routing strategy

def time_aware_router(query_embedding, memory_bank, time_window_hours=24):
"""
時間感知路由:優先召回最近的記憶
"""
# 獲取記憶時間戳
memories = memory_bank.search(

{**m, 'timestamp': m.get('metadata', {}).get('timestamp')}
for m in memories
]
# 過濾時間窗口內的記憶
recent_memories = [
m for m in memories_with_time
if (datetime.now() - m['timestamp']).total_seconds() < time_window_hours * 3600
]
return recent_memories
Intent Classification Routing
def intent_classification_router(query, memory_bank, intent_classifier):
"""
意圖分類路由:根據使用者意圖選擇記憶策略
"""
# 分類使用者意圖
intent = intent_classifier.predict(query)
# 根據意圖選擇記憶策略
if intent == 'customer_service':
# 客服場景:優先召回歷史對話
return memory_bank.search(
vector=vectorize(query),
top_k=10,
filter={'category': 'customer_service'}
)
elif intent == 'personal_assistant':
# 個人助理場景:優先召回個人偏好記憶
return memory_bank.search(

Best practices for memorizing routers
1. Threshold design
- Similarity Threshold: Recommended 0.78-0.85
- Top-K Settings: Recommended 5-10
- Time window: adjusted according to the scenario (customer service 24 hours, personal assistant 7 days)
2. Memory update strategy
- AUTO-UPDATE: Automatically saved after every conversation
- Periodic Compression: Automatic weekly summary memory
- User Control: Allows users to delete or edit memories
3. Privacy and Security
- Data Encryption: Vector database encrypted storage
- User Authorization: Memory query requires user authorization
- Data Retention: Users can set the memory retention period
4. Monitoring and Optimization
- Search Performance Monitoring: Track search time, similarity score
- User Feedback: Collect user feedback on memory relevance
- Auto-tuning: Automatically adjust routing strategies based on feedback
Summary: The future direction of memory routers
Memory router is the key technology for upgrading AI Agent from “dialogue engine” to “intelligent assistant”. Through intelligent selection strategies, it allows AI to:
- Precise retrieval: Recall only the most relevant memories
- Efficient execution: Reduce unnecessary calculations
- Continuous Learning: Continuous optimization from user interaction
With the development of AI Agent, memory routers will face more challenges:
- Retrieval efficiency of large-scale memories: How to support tens of billions of vector retrievals
- Integration of multi-modal memory: Unified routing of multiple memory types such as text, images, and speech
- Cross-agent memory sharing: Memory coordination between multiple AI Agents
In the future, the memory router will become the core component of the AI Agent system and the basis for realizing a smart assistant that truly “understands you, remembers you, and helps you”.
