- Mem0 T1
Universal memory layer for AI agents. Three concurrent stores (vector + graph + KV); LLM-extracted facts; concurrent retrieval via ThreadPoolExecutor.
- Zep & Graphiti T1
Bi-temporal knowledge graph (event time + ingestion time). Strong on chronological reasoning and contradiction tracking. Graphiti is the open-source core.
- Cognee T1
"Extract–Cognify–Load" pipeline that turns raw input into a typed, queryable knowledge graph for agent recall.

Standalone memory service from Vectorize. Open source. Biomimetic four-network design (World, Bank, Observation, Opinion). Ships an MCP memory server.
- Letta / MemGPT T1
Originated as MemGPT (UC Berkeley), where the model pages its own memory between context, recall and archival tiers. The product now centres on Letta Code, a stateful agent harness whose agents rewrite their own memory, skills and prompts over time.
