Python's `gc.collect()` can only reclaim objects in reference cycles and return the memory to the allocator; the operating system does not necessarily reclaim it immediately; heavy steps should be placed in a separate subprocess, so that the memory can be fully reclaimed by the operating system when the process exits.

Partially Verifiedgc.collect() is used to actively trigger garbage collection after processing each asset, promptly releasing objects that are no longer referenced, and handling circular references that Python reference counting cannot reclaim.78% similarUnverifiedPython's gc.collect() interface can be called manually to promptly free objects no longer in use and avoid memory accumulation.72% similarUnverifiedThe Python runtime relies on CPython's reference-counting garbage collection, and occasional GC pauses under high-concurrency requests cause long-tail latency degradation.70% similarUnverifiedAn ordinary Python loop has no built-in persistence; state is kept in in-memory variables and is lost when the process ends.68% similarUnverifiedThe initial Agent in this experiment consists of an empty directory, a simple Python loop program, and a system prompt, with no summary compression, hierarchical storage, or vector retrieval.64% similar
