Release2026-10-12

Oracle AI Agent Memory 26.8 now stores images as durable records. Applications can attach images to messages. Image search uses descriptions or captions. Default retrieval omits raw bytes. Applications request bytes explicitly with include_bytes=True. Images can be standalone or part of ordered message content. Runtime validation checks images before persistence. The companion notebook demonstrates the workflow end to end.
