Engram, a bi-temporal memory engine, scored 83.6% versus 73.2% for a full-context baseline on the 500-question LongMemEval_S benchmark, a statistically significant +10.4 points, while using ~9.6k tokens instead of 79k (arXiv 2606.09900). Roughly 8x fewer tokens and more accurate. That kills the "tradeoff" framing: aggressive retrieval and filtering is both cheaper and better than dumping whole histories in. Code, a reproducible harness, and per-question logs are released CC-BY-4.0. If you're building agent memory, this is the result to internalize.
