This project offers a practical, code-driven exploration of nine distinct techniques for optimizing AI agent memory, targeting developers building conversational AI or RAG systems. It provides a comparative analysis of approaches ranging from simple sequential logging to advanced graph-based and OS-like memory management, enabling users to select strategies that balance recall, cost, and complexity.

How It Works

The core of the project is a Python framework demonstrating nine memory strategies, including Sliding Window, Summarization, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using FAISS, Graph-Based Memory with networkx, and OS-like memory management. Each strategy is implemented as a class inheriting from a base memory strategy, allowing for pluggable integration into a core AIAgent class. The project leverages LLMs for generation and embedding, with specific models like Llama 3.1 8B and BAAI/bge-multilingual-gemma2.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: pip install openai numpy faiss-cpu networkx tiktoken
• Prerequisites: Requires LLM API keys (e.g., OpenAI, Bnebius, Together AI) and specific models for generation (meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) and embeddings (BAAI/bge-multilingual-gemma2).
• Setup: Involves configuring API credentials and potentially downloading model weights if not accessed via API.

Highlighted Details

Limitations & Caveats

This project serves as a tutorial and demonstration rather than a production-ready library. Some advanced strategies, such as Memory-Augmented and OS-Like Memory Management, are simulated. The effectiveness of techniques like summarization and compression relies heavily on prompt engineering and the LLM's capabilities. Graph-based extraction accuracy is dependent on the LLM's performance. Retrieval-based methods require careful selection of embedding models and vector databases. Access to external LLM APIs incurs associated costs.
