Reddit debates when frontier LLMs will ship fixed or updateable engrams

A Reddit thread asks why DeepSeek—despite publishing a January paper on pretrained "engrams"—didn't ship them with v4 Pro, and when a lab will release a model with fixed engrams.
The poster argues fixed engrams (frozen factual/world-knowledge memory) are the stepping stone to updateable fact parameters, while continually updating reasoning will take much longer to research. They further speculate about a model with engrams that continually update during inference.
