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.

  • What happened: AI agents running research on single-GPU nanochat training automatically One day, frontier AI research used to be done by meat computers in between eating, sleeping.
  • Why it matters: It modifies the code, trains for 5 minutes, checks if the result improved, keeps or discards, and repeats.
  • What to do: Validate with one small internal benchmark and compare against your current baseline this week.

Context

Instead, you are programming the program.md Markdown files that provide context to the AI agents and set up your autonomous research org.

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.

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.

What's new

DESIGN.md is a new concept introduced by Google Stitch.

Key details

  • Drop one into your project and let coding agents generate a matching UI.
  • Copy a DESIGN.md into your project, tell your AI agent "build me a page that looks like this" and get pixel-perfect UI that actually matches.
  • DESIGN.md is a new concept introduced by Google Stitch.
  • A plain-text design system document that AI agents read to generate consistent UI.

Results & evidence

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

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
