How AI agents save memory: LangChain's approach
LangChain has shipped DeltaChannel in LangGraph 1.2, a new primitive that cuts memory use for long-running agents. Previously, the full state was saved at every step, which led to exponential growth. Now the system tracks only the changes (the delta) between steps and periodically writes full state snapshots. As a result, storage grows linearly, and Deep Agents v0.6 gets this by default with no reconfiguration needed.

Long-running AI agents run into a classic scaling problem: every step requires saving the full system state, so storage volumes grow exponentially as the agent keeps working.
What are long-running AI agents?
These are agents that run for hours or days. Under the traditional approach, they pile up tens of gigabytes of cached data as they execute each step.
