A-MEM
Research 'agentic memory' (NeurIPS 2025): Zettelkasten-style notes in ChromaDB that the LLM links and evolves as new memories arrive.
No releases; last commit 2025-12-12; agentic-memory 0.1.2 on PyPI 2025-11-28. (checked 2026-10-25)
In Agent memory
Where it stands apart
- Is it actively maintained? dormant, sunsetting, or archived (14% of 21 others)
- How is it mainly sustained? community, foundation, or research (5% of 20 others)
- In the default setup, who mainly decides what gets remembered? the app or user, by saving each memory explicitly (5% of 21 others)
- What is the main storage model for long-term memory? vector store of extracted facts or chunks (20% of 20 others)
What it shares with most of the community
- How is the main thing licensed? permissive open source (MIT/Apache/BSD) (67% of 21 others)
- Can it run entirely on your own device or infrastructure, without the maker's servers? yes (67% of 21 others)
- Who is it for? developers (76% of 21 others)
- How can the person the memories are about see and edit them? only through developer APIs or a developer dashboard (62% of 21 others)
- By default, how do old or wrong memories mainly go away? the system updates, merges, or decays them automatically (58% of 19 others)
- Does it work with models from different LLM vendors? yes, model-agnostic (86% of 21 others)
- Does it publish scores on public memory benchmarks (LoCoMo, LongMemEval, BEAM, etc.)? yes (62% of 21 others)

| Can it run entirely on your own device or infrastructure, without the maker's servers? | yes | source 2026-10-25 |
| Do you need an account to use it? | no account Runs locally; only LLM-provider API keys (OpenAI) or local Ollama/vLLM. No maker account. | source 2026-10-26 |
| Who is it for? | developers | source 2026-10-25 |
| Which shared standard or format does it mainly build on? | none of these (its own format or interface) Own notes in ChromaDB. | source 2026-10-26 |
| In the default setup, who mainly decides what gets remembered? | stands apart the app or user, by saving each memory explicitly App calls add_note; the system then links and evolves notes automatically. | source 2026-10-25 |
| How can the person the memories are about see and edit them? | only through developer APIs or a developer dashboard | source 2026-10-25 |
| By default, how do old or wrong memories mainly go away? | the system updates, merges, or decays them automatically Memory evolution updates existing notes' context and tags. | source 2026-10-25 |
| Where do memories live in the default setup the docs lead with? | in the developer's own infrastructure | source 2026-10-25 |
| Does it work with models from different LLM vendors? | yes, model-agnostic | source 2026-10-25 |
| What is the main storage model for long-term memory? | stands apart vector store of extracted facts or chunks ChromaDB notes with LLM-generated links. | source 2026-10-25 |
| What shape does it mainly take (the one its docs lead with)? | library or API primitive you build into your app | source 2026-10-25 |
| Is there a first-party MCP server for it? | no | source 2026-10-25 |
| How is memory separated between users or tenants? | one store per user or agent; the app partitions it | source 2026-10-25 |
| Does it publish scores on public memory benchmarks (LoCoMo, LongMemEval, BEAM, etc.)? | yes LoCoMo in paper. | source 2026-10-25 |
