Key points

  • Bemula is the first benchmark dedicated to memory unlearning in LLM agents, the ability to delete exactly what the user requests.
  • Its tasks jointly measure removal of requested facts and preservation of the rest of memory.
  • Across all evaluated systems and backbones, no system passed more than 1.5% of forget requests end to end, and most passed none at all.
  • A human validation of the LLM judge on 100 sampled items yielded 98% agreement, supporting evaluation reliability.
