24 alternatives to AMP – open-source memory server for AI agents (MCP, SQLite, D3.js)
Hi HN, I’m Akshay. I built AMP because I was tired of my AI agents having "amnesia" the moment I closed the terminal. Like many of you, I use Claude/Cursor daily. RAG is great for searching documentation, but it’s terrible for continuity. It chunks text blindly, losing the narrative. When I asked my agent "Why did we decide to use FastAPI last week?", it would hallucinate or just give me generic pros/cons because the specific context of our decision was lost in a vector soup. So I decided to build a proper *Hippocampus* for my agents. *What is it?* AMP is a local-first memory…

YourMemory▲93This is a project that I have been building for a while now, YourMemory is a solution to agentic memory which focuses on pruning of noise rather than hoarding of data. In the current state of agentic memory most of the context is stored in the form of a MD file or is derived through a RAG model where you store each and everything. Both of the solution leads to bloated context which does not optimize the usage of any tokens. In this system we only keep relevant data in our memory and prune all the unnecessary data. The relevance of a data is derived through multiple factors such as recall…

Hi Hacker News, This is definitely out of my comfort zone. I just wanted to show you guys because I'm super proud of it. It's a 100% faithful recreation based off of the schematics, patents, and ROMs that were found online. So please watch the video and tell me what you think https://youtu.be/auOlZXI1VxA The reason why I think this is relevant is because I've been a programmer for 25 years and AI scares the shit out of me. I'm not a programmer anymore. I'm something else now. I don't know what it is but it's multi-disciplinary, and it doesn't involve writing code myself--for…

I keep running in the same problem of each AI app “remembers” me in its own silo. ChatGPT knows my project details, Cursor forgets them, Claude starts from zero… so I end up re-explaining myself dozens of times a day across these apps. The deeper problem 1. Not portable – context is vendor-locked; nothing travels across tools. 2. Not relational – most memory systems store only the latest fact (“sticky notes”) with no history or provenance. 3. Not yours – your AI memory is sensitive first-party data, yet you have no control over where it lives or how it’s queried. Demo video:…

Hi all! This morning, we released a new Apache 2.0 licensed model on HuggingFace for detecting hallucinations in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems. What we've found is that even when given a "simple" instruction like "summarize the following news article," every LLM that's available hallucinates to some extent, making up details that never existed in the source article -- and some of them quite a bit. As a RAG provider and proponents of ethical AI, we want to see LLMs get better at this. We've published an open source model, a blog more thoroughly describing our methodology (and…

I’m a former Systems Architect (Cisco/VMware) turned builder in Thailand. TheAuditor v2.0 is a complete architectural rewrite (800+ commits) of the prototype I posted three months ago. The "A-ha" moment for me didn't come from a success; it came from a massive failure. I was trying to use AI to refactor a complex schema change (a foundation change from "Products" to "ProductsVariants"), and due to the scope of it, it failed spectacularly. I realized two things: * Context Collapse: The AI couldn't keep enough files in its context window to understand the full scope of the refactor, so it…

Howdy y'all, I'm Jesse and I'm pleased to share Rift (https://www.github.com/morph-labs/rift), an open-source AI-native language server for the IDEs of the future. Software will soon be written mostly by AI SWEs working alongside humans. Codebases and the development environments around them will soon become living artifacts that can anticipate, maintain context on, and execute your every intention. Software development is rapidly evolving and key infrastructure like language servers must evolve with it to support a new generation of developer tools. As part of Rift,…

Tired of AI coding tools that forget everything between sessions? Every time I open a new chat with Claude or fire up Copilot, I'm back to square one explaining my codebase structure. So I built something to fix this. It's called In Memoria. Its an MCP server that gives AI tools persistent memory. Instead of starting fresh every conversation, the AI remembers your coding patterns, architectural decisions, and all the context you've built up. The setup is dead simple: `npx in-memoria server` then connect your AI tool. No accounts, no data leaves your machine. Under the hood it's TypeScript +…

I’m not a software engineer or a genius — I just had a weird idea: What if memory wasn’t just stored as text or embeddings, but as symbolic, byte-level thoughts that could be passed between AIs? That idea became MemoryCore Lite: Encodes thoughts into lightweight bytecode Shares them across nodes via peer-to-peer sync Fully decentralized, no GPU needed Designed to evolve into its own AI knowledge mesh I just open-sourced the basic version here: github.com/ProToxicNinja/MemoryCore-Lite-Symbolic-Memory-Engine-for-AI It’s simple — but everything works. You can build better tokenizers,…

Hey HN! I'm Arindam, part of the team behind Memori (https://memori.gibsonai.com/). Memori adds a stateful memory engine to AI agents, enabling them to stay consistent, recall past work, and improve over time. With Memori, agents don’t lose track of multi-step workflows, repeat tool calls, or forget user preferences. Instead, they build up human-like memory that makes them more reliable and efficient across sessions. We’ve also put together demo apps (a personal diary assistant, a research agent, and a travel planner) so you can see memory in action. Current LLMs are stateless…

Hey HN, I pay for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and use Gemini through work. Four vendors, four separate conversation histories, four profiles of how I think. None of them talk to each other. Switch providers and you start over. So I built a system where the memory is mine. I run a knowledge graph in Postgres (Supabase, free tier) with pgvector for semantic search. A small MCP server reads and writes to it. That server sits behind an MCP Gateway on a $6/month VPS, along with Brave Search and a GitHub server. TypingMind connects to the gateway as a BYOK client -- any model, any device, same…

Cursor published a great post last week on scaling long-running autonomous coding agents to build a browser. We’ve been exploring a similar idea, but applied to math proofs We show how a swarm of agents, coordinated via shared memory, can generate a Lean proof for a non-trivial multi-step math problem-Putnan A2-that a single agent struggled with. We were feeling fancy so we wrote a full post and captured the runtime. Harness will be public soon(tm) for you to run it yourself.
