Open-source agent memory layer hits 86.67% on LongMemEval without embeddings

GabrielMartinMoran · reddit · 2026-10-28

Developer GabrielMartinMoran released Mind v1.7.0, an open-source persistent memory layer for AI agents built on SQLite + FTS5 with a unified retrieval pipeline combining phrase, token, substring, fuzzy matching and relevance signals — embeddings are optional. On a stratified 120-question subset of OmniMemEval LongMemEval-S, the best run achieved 86.67% answer accuracy with RAG disabled, near top published results (not directly comparable due to sample/judging differences). The author argues agent memory depends on structured facts, decisions, temporal context, maintenance and retrieval behavior, not just semantic similarity. MIT-licensed, local-first, MCP integration. He asks: when do embeddings genuinely beat well-designed lexical retrieval?
