AI agent memory system — sub-millisecond hybrid search (FAISS + FTS5 + RRF), knowledge graph, temporal awareness, LLM-powered extraction, entity resolution, conversation memory. Zero infrastructure. OpenAI/Anthropic/Ollama support.

Project description

Ariadne

Memory for AI agents. Sub-millisecond search. Zero infrastructure.

PyPI Python 3.10+ Tests License: MIT


Quick Start

from arriadne import AriadneMemory

mem = AriadneMemory(db_path="memory.db")
# Auto-detects ONNX embeddings — zero config

mem.remember("VPS has 4 cores, 8GB RAM", importance=0.8)

results = mem.recall("server specs", k=5)
pip install arriadne

Why

Ariadne Mnemosyne Mem0 ChromaDB
Vector search 0.24ms 153ms 12ms 2.39ms
Hybrid search ✅ RRF ⚠️ basic
Knowledge graph ✅ BFS ⚠️ basic
Auto-embeddings ✅ ONNX ✅ cloud
Auto-dedup ✅ MinHash
Runs locally
No daemon

Features

238us Vector Search

FAISS-powered. 4.2× faster than sqlite-vec, 10× faster than ChromaDB. Auto-upgrades from exact to approximate search as your data grows.

Engine 1K vectors
FAISS (Ariadne) 0.24ms
sqlite-vec 0.99ms

Hybrid Retrieval

Vector similarity + BM25 keywords fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion.

results = mem.recall("how to deploy to production", k=5)
# Searches both keyword and semantic similarity, fuses with RRF
for r in results:
    print(f"[{r['search_type']}] {r['content'][:80]}")

Zero-Config Embeddings

Auto-downloads a quantized ONNX model on first use (~90MB). No API keys, no cloud, works offline.

# Just works — no embedding_provider parameter needed
mem = AriadneMemory("memory.db")
mem.remember("Paris is the capital of France")  # auto-embedded

Falls back to keyword matching if ONNX is unavailable.

Knowledge Graph

BFS graph traversal with typed, weighted edges. Bidirectional — edges are traversed in both directions.

mem.add_edge("Paris", "France", "located_in")
mem.add_edge("Nginx", "VPS", "runs_on")
g = mem.graph("VPS", hops=2)
# Returns: VPS ↔ Nginx, VPS ↔ France (via Paris)

Auto-Deduplication

MinHash LSH near-duplicate detection. Catches paraphrases, not just exact matches.

mem.remember("The server runs Ubuntu 24.04")
mem.remember("Ubuntu 24.04 is running on the server")
# Second store detects near-duplicate (LSH similarity > threshold)

Conversation Memory

Track conversations and extract structured facts automatically.

mem.sync_turn("user", "Deploy the app to production")
mem.sync_turn("assistant", "Deploying now via GitHub Actions")

context = mem.get_context("deployment")  # relevant past turns

Agent Tools

OpenAI function-calling compatible tool definitions for any LLM.

tools = AriadneMemory.get_tools()  # 6 tools: remember, recall, graph, link, forget, stats
# Plug into any agent framework that supports function calling

Memory Lifecycle

Ebbinghaus forgetting curve + priority-based eviction. Memories that matter survive; noise gets cleaned up.

mem.consolidate()  # merge similar memories
mem.evict()        # remove low-priority noise

Benchmark

Measured on a 4-core 8GB VPS with 1K memories and ONNX embeddings (all-MiniLM-L6-v2, 384-dim):

Operation p50 p95
Vector search 238us 545us
FTS search 547us 800us
Hybrid search 1.31ms 1.37ms
Graph traversal (2 hops) 87us 374us
Single insert 500ms

Install

pip install arriadne

Optional (for faster dev):

pip install "arriadne[dev]"

Requirements: Python 3.10+, SQLite (built-in). ONNX model auto-downloads on first use.
