Park et al. (arXiv 2304.03442, pinned v2, UIST 2023) describe an LLM wrapper with a memory stream of natural-language observations, a retrieval function that scores memories by recency, importance and relevance, periodic reflection that writes higher-level memories, and planning that turns the agent's summary and memories into daily plans. It was instantiated with gpt3.5-turbo in a 25-agent sandbox. These are the authors' reported implementation values, not a production game recipe.
