AI-native Memory - A technology integrating memory modeling to advance large language models (LLMs) toward artificial general intelligence (AGI).
## Primary Goal of AI-native Memory
The primary goal of AI-native Memory is to advance large language models (LLMs) toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) by integrating a structured memory system. This system enables deeper personalization, contextual understanding, and predictive capabilities by modeling memory in three layers: raw data (L0), natural-language descriptions (L1), and neural-network-based behavioral predictions (L2).
## Layers of Memory Modeling in AI-native Memory
The three layers are:
1. **L0: Raw Data** - Stores unprocessed inputs (e.g., documents, images) similar to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
2. **L1: Natural-language Memory** - Organizes data into keywords, tags, and descriptive text (e.g., user bios, preferences).
3. **L2: AI-Native Memory** - A neural network that compresses and parameterizes memories to predict user behavior and preferences.
## Performance in Recommendation Systems
In trials, AI-native Memory's L2 layer (using Qwen-2-7B-instruct model) achieved an average score of **3.933** across 60 test questions, surpassing traditional RAG methods (2.950–3.333) and long-context LLMs (3.400–3.425). It excelled in predictive tasks (4.2 score) and recommendations (4.6 score) by leveraging neural-network-based memory compression and behavioral pattern recognition.
## Supported Modalities in AI-native Memory
AI-native Memory supports multimodal inputs, including:
- Text
- Images
- Audio
- Video
- Sensor signals
This enables comprehensive memory processing across diverse data types.
## Applications of AI-native Memory
Key applications include:
- **Memory-augmented chatbots**: Enhances dialogue with contextual recall.
- **Personalized recommendations**: Predicts user preferences for content/products.
- **Situational memory**: Retrieves context-specific data (e.g., meeting notes).
- **Autocompletion**: Anticipates user inputs based on historical patterns.
## Functionality of the L2 Layer
The L2 layer is a neural network that:
- Compresses and parameterizes memories from L0/L1.
- Predicts user behavior (e.g., future interests) without relying solely on natural-language data.
- Enables granular pattern recognition (e.g., daily summaries vs. annual trends).
## Evidence for Effectiveness
A trial with 538 user notes (April–July 2024) evaluated L2 performance against RAG and LLMs. Results showed:
- **Memory tasks**: 3.13 (L2) vs. ≤3.425 (baselines).
- **Predictive tasks**: 4.2 (L2) vs. ≤3.425 (baselines).

## Primary Goal of AI-native Memory
AI-native Memory is proposed as a pathway to AGI by:
1. Enabling lifelong personal models (LPMs) that evolve with user interactions.
2. Addressing AGI challenges like privacy and social interaction through adaptive memory systems.
3. Bridging LLMs' static knowledge with dynamic, personalized reasoning.
