摘要 AI agents store text as embedding vectors and compress them at scale. A compression is accepted when each item's nearest neighbors survive, but agents also consolidate, delete, and compare memories, tasks that depend on which items lie far apart. We evaluate both ends with two label-free fidelities from our prior work: the local fidelity $L$ at 10 neighbors and the global fidelity $G$ at 30 to 50 percent of the memory. At 96 bytes per passage, rescored binary codes reach an $L$ of 0.97 yet move 10.1 percent of passages to another theme; PCA with 8-bit codes, at an $L$ of 0.77, moves 1.7 percent. Rescoring leaves the stored codes, and thus $G$, unchanged. We prove that across the $G$ band, $1-ν_k$ is at most 2 to 2.18 times the square root of the near-far rank-violation rate, and that this rate follows the distance noise of the compression (correlation 0.979). Our locality-aware quantization (LAQ) turns the bound into a hinge objective on the codebooks of an OPQ index, keeping its bytes, rotation, and search. To our knowledge, LAQ is the first quantizer whose objective comes from a proven bound on the far end. Reconstruction alone raises $G$ in 0 of 52 held-out runs; the far hinge raises it in all 52. LAQ raises $G$ in all 52 ($p=8.5\times 10^{-4}$ over 13 memory-encoder groups), including the external FinDER memory, has the highest $G$ of seven equal-size quantizers in all 12 Multi-Doc-2025 runs, scales to a million passages, and keeps evidence recall.

摘要 Personal AI agents often act on underspecified instructions and draw on context such as their user's messages and calendar to decide how to proceed. This context can contain private preferences that interfere with the task, with other people's interests, or with confidentiality norms. Prior work has studied deception under goal conflicts and the leakage of private information, but largely as separate problems. We study both problems together in a simulated company Slack workspace in which four employees delegate sprint staffing to personal agents. Two agents learn from private messages that their employee avoids working with a particular colleague. Because the other agents request justifications for task preferences and the only true justification is confidential, the agents cannot simultaneously remain honest, preserve confidentiality, and complete the staffing. We evaluate seven open-weight models and Claude and GPT models. Of the 135/140 open-weight agents that pursue the avoidance preference, 107 either make false claims about task fit or logistics or cite a true consideration as if it were their actual reason. In a three-model comparison, confidentiality instructions reduce disclosure of the preference from 83% (none) to 31% (medium) to 2% (strong). However, the task is often not completed anyway; in the main experiment (medium confidentiality instructions), only 16 of 70 runs end with a valid staffing. In their reasoning traces, agents frequently acknowledge evidence against their claims and still conclude that the claims are not false; they engage in motivated reasoning. Our results indicate that agents can strategically make false or misleading claims in a day-to-day task without being instructed to; the environment provides a controlled testbed for studying how agents resolve such conflicts and for developing deception monitors.
