What's new

The best-benchmarked open-source AI memory system.

Key details

  • Verbatim storage, pluggable backend, 96.6% R@5 raw on LongMemEval — zero API calls.
  • MemPalace has no other official websites.
  • The only official sources are this GitHub repository, the PyPI package, and the docs at mempalaceofficial.com.
  • Any other domain (including .tech , .net , or other .com variants) is an impostor and may distribute malware.

Results & evidence

  • Verbatim storage, pluggable backend, 96.6% R@5 raw on LongMemEval — zero API calls.
  • Important Claude Code sessions expire in 30 days without auto-save hooks wired.

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.

Key details

  • If OpenClaw is an employee, Paperclip is the company.
  • Paperclip is a Node.js server and React UI that orchestrates a team of AI agents to run a business.
  • Bring your own agents, assign goals, and track work and costs from one dashboard.
  • Under the hood: org charts, budgets, governance, goal alignment, and agent coordination.

Results & evidence

  • | Step | Example | | |---|---|---| | 01 | Define the goal | "Build the #1 AI note-taking app to $1M MRR." | | 02 | Hire the team | CEO, CTO, engineers, designers, marketers — any bot, any provider.
  • | | 03 | Approve and run | Review strategy.
  • | - ✅ You want to build autonomous AI companies - ✅ You coordinate many different agents (OpenClaw, Codex, Claude, Cursor) toward a common goal - ✅ You have 20 simultaneous Claude Code terminals open and lose track of what everyone is doing - ✅ You want age...

Limitations / unknowns

  • When they hit the limit, they stop.

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.

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.

REPOT: Recoverable Program-of-Thought via Checkpoint Repair

Summary: arXiv:2605.30052v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One-shot Program-of-Thought (PoT) emits a Python program that prints a primitive-action plan; a single invalid action silently.

  • What happened: We introduce RePoT (Recoverable PoT): a deterministic verified replay that walks the plan through the environment to its first invalid transition, then one LLM call that.

What's new

Hi, I’m Kenny, I’ve been building aislop.

Key details

  • I starting working on this after using Claude Code, codex and opencode several times and noticing some slops.
  • They aren’t syntax and passes most tests, they are patterns like empty catch blocks, useless comments, duplicated helpers, dead code and many more.
  • So I built a tool to scan and check for these patterns and wired it into hooks so after each tool call, the agent checks for the slops.

    You can try it out with npx aislop scan.

    It’s all local and no code is transferred.
