24 alternatives to MemoryCore – symbolic, peer-to-peer memory system for AI
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,…

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:…

Hey HN! I built a proof-of-concept for AI memory using Git instead of vector databases. The insight: Git already solved versioned document management. Why are we building complex vector stores when we could just use markdown files with Git's built-in diff/blame/history? How it works: Memories stored as markdown files in a Git repo Each conversation = one commit git diff shows how understanding evolves over time BM25 for search (no embeddings needed) LLMs generate search queries from conversation context Example: Ask "how has my project evolved?" and it uses git diff to show actual…

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…

One memory, not one per tool. Cog gives AI agents a shared, structured memory layer using plain-text files — portable across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Copilot, and more.

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 +…

The Emotion Engine has 32 MB of RAM total, so the trick is streaming weights from CD-ROM one matrix at a time during the forward pass — only activations, KV cache and embeddings live in RAM. This means models bigger than the RAM can still run, they just read more from disc. Had to build a custom quantized format (PSNT), hack endianness, write a tokenizer pipeline, and most of the PS2 SDK from scratch (releasing that separately). The model itself is also custom — a 10M param Llama-style architecture I trained specifically for this. And it works. On real hardware.

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 built Memoripy, a memory layer for AI that adds short-term, long-term, and semantic memory capabilities to enhance LLM applications. It helps AI systems retain and prioritize past interactions, adapt over time, and respond with greater context and personalization. Memoripy uses semantic clustering to retrieve relevant memories, along with adaptive memory decay and reinforcement, so interactions stay fresh and context-aware. It’s designed for easy integration with OpenAI, Ollama, and other platforms—giving your AI applications dynamic memory management with minimal setup. Would love…

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…

I'm an "ideas person" who messes around with AI on a low budget. I got tired of watching my tokens vanish and context windows filling up while agents fumbled around trying to find the right thing. Agents don't flail like they used to with shell tools, but there are still weak/blind spots and back-and-forth episodes — especially when using tools in combination/sequence. So I built "tilth" today. Or rather, AI built it — every line is Opus 4.6. I spent a lot of my precious tokens getting it to "not shit" (at least several of the different vendors' AI overlords assure me it's not…
