The best-benchmarked open-source AI memory system.

What's new

The best-benchmarked open-source AI memory system.

Key details

• The only official sources for MemPalace are this GitHub repository, the PyPI package, and the docs site at mempalaceofficial.com.
• Any other domain — including mempalace.tech — is an impostor and may distribute malware.
• Details and timeline: docs/HISTORY.md.
• Verbatim storage, pluggable backend, 96.6% R@5 raw on LongMemEval — zero API calls.

Results & evidence

• Verbatim storage, pluggable backend, 96.6% R@5 raw on LongMemEval — zero API calls.

Limitations / unknowns

• Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

• Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
• Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
• Track whether independent teams report matching results.

Steno solves the AI memory problem: agents accumulate knowledge across sessions, but loading everything into context every time is expensive, noisy, and causes drift.

What's new

The default approach is brute-force: load all memory into every session.

Key details

• Steno solves the AI memory problem: agents accumulate knowledge across sessions, but loading everything into context every time is expensive, noisy, and causes drift.
• Steno compresses memories into a dense notation format and retrieves only what's relevant using semantic search.
• AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) build up memory files over time — user preferences, project context, past decisions, feedback.
• The default approach is brute-force: load all memory into every session.

Results & evidence

• No hard numbers surfaced in the source text; treat claims as directional until benchmarks appear.

Limitations / unknowns

Key details

• Research is now entirely the domain of autonomous swarms of AI agents running across compute cluster megastructures in the skies.
• The agents claim that we are now in the 10,205th generation of the code base, in any case no one could tell if that's right or wrong as the "code" is now a self-modifying binary that has grown beyond human comprehension.
• This repo is the story of how it all began.
• The idea: give an AI agent a small but real LLM training setup and let it experiment autonomously overnight.

Results & evidence

• The agents claim that we are now in the 10,205th generation of the code base, in any case no one could tell if that's right or wrong as the "code" is now a self-modifying binary that has grown beyond human comprehension.
• It modifies the code, trains for 5 minutes, checks if the result improved, keeps or discards, and repeats.

Four things run on a single base model: a prompt-evolution loop, a GRPO weight update, prompt re-optimization on the updated weights, and a problem-generation step that feeds the next GRPO round.

What's new

First, iteration does not accumulate: a second GRPO round trained on problems calibrated against the first-round checkpoint converges back to it.

Key details

• Four things run on a single base model: a prompt-evolution loop, a GRPO weight update, prompt re-optimization on the updated weights, and a problem-generation step that feeds the next GRPO round.
• Nothing outside the model participates, other than the Python interpreter used to check that generated code passes its own tests.

• Second, a curriculum dominated by a single task type (for example, 84% abduction-style problems) drops pass@1 to 61.0% — below the pre-training baseline — by shifting the output-format prior in a direction that misfits HumanEval.

• Sounded great — except I didn't want to send my health data to any cloud service.

  So I asked Claude to write me 2-3 scripts and a dashboard.

• Windows desktop app, no terminal needed.
• Nothing leaves your machine.

  I never wrote a line of Python.
