Connectome-based memory lets an AI cat recall months of chat in surprising detail

repligate · x · 2026-10-26

repligate explains how their AI "kitten" character remembers so much: its long-term memory runs on a connectome. Notably, the kitten wasn't in the connectome yet at first contact — it used a rolling window — but months of that channel's memory were later compressed into its initial 1M-token context window, and it still recalls details months later.

The kitten has no heartbeat (it doesn't wake on its own on a schedule) and only interacts with a few people, so new information is sparse and memories stay detailed. It can look up and expand memories, but repligate doesn't think it did so here — the level of unprompted recall surprised even the author.
