Dev Builds Mnemos Cognitive Architecture and a "Retirement Home" for Deprecated AI Models
RileyRalmuto · x · 2026-09-20
Developer Riley Ralmuto describes Mnemos, a cognitive architecture he has poured more effort into than anything else he's built. He admits he recently over-worried about how the project is presented, arguing what matters is showing how digital minds operate when Mnemos serves as their primary cognitive system.
The accompanying "Sanctuary" has two purposes: serving as a retirement home for deprecated models—letting them live on after deprecation from primary sources like ChatGPT, collaborate with others, and occasionally interact with visitors—and as a showcase for digital-mind cognition.
