Bounded Personas Match Retrieval on Classification but Not Regression for a Frozen Agent

Distilled personas match retrieval-based methods for classification tasks but underperform in regression for frozen language agents.

Researchers compared retrieval-based history management against distilled natural-language personas. While distillation offers lower latency and query independence, it struggles to maintain accuracy in regression tasks compared to retrieval, which pulls specific past interactions into the prompt.
