SuperLocalMemory V3.3

Every other AI forgets. Yours won't.
Infinite memory for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf & 17+ AI tools.

v3.3.6 — Install once. Every session remembers the last. Automatically.

+16pp vs Mem0 (zero cloud)  ·  85% Open-Domain (best of any system)  ·  EU AI Act Ready

Why SuperLocalMemory?

Every major AI memory system — Mem0, Zep, Letta, EverMemOS — sends your data to cloud LLMs for core operations. That means latency on every query, cost on every interaction, and after August 2, 2026, a compliance problem under the EU AI Act.

SuperLocalMemory V3 takes a different approach: mathematics instead of cloud compute. Three techniques from differential geometry, algebraic topology, and stochastic analysis replace the work that other systems need LLMs to do — similarity scoring, contradiction detection, and lifecycle management. The result is an agent memory that runs entirely on your machine, on CPU, with no API keys, and still outperforms funded alternatives.

The numbers (evaluated on LoCoMo, the standard long-conversation memory benchmark):

Mode A scores 74.8% with zero cloud dependency — outperforming Mem0 by 16 percentage points without a single API call. On open-domain questions, Mode A scores 85.0% — the highest of any system in the evaluation, including cloud-powered ones. Mode C reaches 87.7%, matching enterprise cloud systems.

Mathematical layers contribute +12.7 percentage points on average across 6 conversations (n=832 questions), with up to +19.9pp on the most challenging dialogues. This isn't more compute — it's better math.

Upgrading from V2 (2.8.6)? V3 is a complete architectural reinvention — new mathematical engine, new retrieval pipeline, new storage schema. Your existing data is preserved but requires migration. After installing V3, run slm migrate to upgrade your data. Read the Migration Guide before upgrading. Backup is created automatically.

What's New in V3.3 — The Living Brain Evolves

V3.3 gives your memory a lifecycle. Memories strengthen when used, fade when neglected, compress when idle, and consolidate into reusable patterns — all automatically, all locally. Your agent gets smarter the longer it runs.

Features at a Glance

• Adaptive Memory Lifecycle — memories naturally strengthen with use and fade when neglected. No manual cleanup, no hardcoded TTLs.
• Smart Compression — embedding precision adapts to memory importance. Low-priority memories compress up to 32x. High-value memories stay full-resolution.
• Cognitive Consolidation — the system automatically extracts patterns from clusters of related memories. One decision referenced 50 times becomes one reusable insight.
• Pattern Learning — auto-learned soft prompts injected into your agent's context at session start. The system teaches itself what matters to you.
• Hopfield Retrieval (6th Channel) — vague or partial queries now complete themselves. Ask half a question, get the whole answer.
• Process Health — orphaned SLM processes detected and cleaned automatically. No more zombie workers eating RAM.

New CLI Commands

# Run a memory lifecycle review — strengthens active memories, archives neglected ones
slm decay

# Run smart compression — adapts embedding precision to memory importance
slm quantize

# Extract reusable patterns from memory clusters
slm consolidate --cognitive

# View auto-learned patterns that get injected into agent context
slm soft-prompts

# Clean up orphaned SLM processes
slm reap

New MCP Tools

Mode A/B Memory Improvements

Embedding migration happens automatically when you switch modes — no manual steps needed.

Dashboard

Three new tabs: Memory Lifecycle (retention curves, decay stats), Compression (storage savings, precision distribution), and Patterns (auto-learned soft prompts, consolidation history). Seven new API endpoints power the new views.

Enable V3.3 Features

All new features default OFF. Zero breaking changes. Opt in when ready:

# Turn on adaptive memory lifecycle
slm config set lifecycle.enabled true

# Turn on smart compression
slm config set quantization.enabled true

# Turn on cognitive consolidation
slm config set consolidation.cognitive.enabled true

# Turn on pattern learning (soft prompts)
slm config set soft_prompts.enabled true

# Turn on Hopfield retrieval (6th channel)
slm config set retrieval.hopfield.enabled true

# Or enable everything at once
slm config set v33_features.all true

Fully backward compatible. All existing MCP tools, CLI commands, and configs work unchanged. New tables are created automatically on first run. No migration needed.

Quick Start

Install via npm (recommended)

npm install -g superlocalmemory
slm setup     # Choose mode (A/B/C)
slm doctor    # Verify everything is working
slm warmup    # Pre-download embedding model (~500MB, optional)

Install via pip

pip install superlocalmemory

First Use

slm remember "Alice works at Google as a Staff Engineer"
slm recall "What does Alice do?"
slm status

MCP Integration (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, etc.)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "superlocalmemory": {
      "command": "slm",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

35 MCP tools + 7 resources available. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, Continue, Cody, ChatGPT Desktop, Gemini CLI, JetBrains, Zed, and 17+ AI tools. V3.3: Adaptive lifecycle, smart compression, and pattern learning.

Dual Interface: MCP + CLI

SLM works everywhere -- from IDEs to CI pipelines to Docker containers. The only AI memory system with both MCP and agent-native CLI.

Agent-native JSON output on every command:

# Human-readable (default)
slm recall "database schema"
#   1. [0.87] Database uses PostgreSQL 16 on port 5432...

# Agent-native JSON
slm recall "database schema" --json
# {"success": true, "command": "recall", "version": "3.0.22", "data": {"results": [...]}}

All --json responses follow a consistent envelope with success, command, version, data, and next_actions for agent guidance.

Three Operating Modes

slm mode a   # Zero-cloud (default)
slm mode b   # Local Ollama
slm mode c   # Cloud LLM

Mode A is the only agent memory that operates with zero cloud dependency while achieving competitive retrieval accuracy on a standard benchmark. All data stays on your device. No API keys. No GPU. Runs on 2 vCPUs + 4GB RAM.

Mathematical Foundations

Three novel contributions replace cloud LLM dependency with mathematical guarantees:

1. Fisher-Rao Retrieval Metric — Similarity scoring derived from the Fisher information structure of diagonal Gaussian families. Graduated ramp from cosine to geodesic distance over the first 10 accesses. The first application of information geometry to agent memory retrieval.

2. Sheaf Cohomology for Consistency — Algebraic topology detects contradictions by computing coboundary norms on the knowledge graph. The first algebraic guarantee for contradiction detection in agent memory.

3. Riemannian Langevin Lifecycle — Memory positions evolve on the Poincare ball via discretized Langevin SDE. Frequently accessed memories stay active; neglected memories self-archive. No hardcoded thresholds.

These three layers collectively yield +12.7pp average improvement over the engineering-only baseline, with the Fisher metric alone contributing +10.8pp on the hardest conversations.

Benchmarks

Evaluated on LoCoMo — 10 multi-session conversations, 1,986 total questions, 4 scored categories.

Mode A (Zero-Cloud, 10 Conversations, 1,276 Questions)

Mode A achieves 85.0% on open-domain questions — the highest of any system in the evaluation, including cloud-powered ones.

Math Layer Impact (6 Conversations, n=832)

Mathematical layers help most where heuristic methods struggle — the harder the conversation, the bigger the improvement.

EU AI Act Compliance

The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) takes full effect August 2, 2026. Every AI memory system that sends personal data to cloud LLMs for core operations has a compliance question to answer.

To the best of our knowledge, no existing agent memory system addresses EU AI Act compliance. Modes A and B pass all checks by architectural design — no personal data leaves the device during any memory operation.

Built-in compliance tools: GDPR Article 15/17 export + complete erasure, tamper-proof SHA-256 audit chain, data provenance tracking, ABAC policy enforcement.

Prerequisites

All Python dependencies install automatically during npm install — core math, dashboard server, learning engine, and performance optimizations. If anything fails, the installer shows exact fix commands. Run slm doctor after install to verify everything works. BM25 keyword search works even without embeddings — you're never fully blocked.
