Conversations with chat assistants increasingly span many topics in a single long-running thread, challenging memory systems. Existing long-context and memory benchmarks often expose session or topic boundaries, or probe direct personal-memory questions. These settings understate a harder assistant-memory regime: a flat mixed-topic thread where the system must infer which earlier episode makes a later task decision valid. We introduce SCALE-QA, a constraint-grounded task QA benchmark for flat unsegmented threads targeting episode integrity failure. The dataset contains 3,000 audited questions across 10 domains, uses deterministic four-way multiple-choice grading, and includes a deterministic runtime builder; experiments use all 3,000 questions through 128k and a stratified 400-question diagnostic at 1M. SCALE-QA questions are ordinary task-oriented requests whose correct answer depends on causally related evidence introduced earlier in the conversation. We also propose Temporal-Semantic Interleaved Memory Reconstruction (TSIM), which segments the turn stream into coherent episodes and indexes them through a hierarchical multi-view memory stack with deterministic episode-level summary and cluster-routing views. Experiments show that SCALE-QA challenges strong RAG baselines and long-context LLMs alike; across three open-source and proprietary LLM backends, TSIM achieves the highest accuracy in every backend setting, gaining 5.6–17.6 accuracy points over the strongest corresponding baseline.

Large language models (LLMs) based Agents are increasingly pivotal in simulating and understanding complex human systems and interactions. We propose the AI-Agent School (AAS) system, built around a self-evolving mechanism that leverages agents for simulating complex educational dynamics. Addressing the fragmented issues in teaching process modeling and the limitations of agents performance in simulating diverse educational participants, AAS constructs the Zero-Exp strategy, employs a continuous “experience-reflection-optimization” cycle, grounded in a dual memory base comprising experience and knowledge bases and incorporating short-term and long-term memory components. Through this mechanism, agents autonomously evolve via situated interactions within diverse simulated school scenarios. This evolution enables agents to more accurately model the nuanced, multi-faceted teacher-student engagements and underlying learning processes found in physical schools. Experiment confirms that AAS can effectively simulate intricate educational dynamics and is effective in fostering advanced agent cognitive abilities, providing a foundational stepping stone from the “Era of Experience” to the “Era of Simulation” by generating high-fidelity behavioral and interaction data.
