The 5 benchmark crowns

Benchmark	Score	Position
LongMemEval (end-to-end memory QA)	93.3%	top-4 globally, +22pp vs Zep
DFAH compliance (det × acc)	100% / 88%	first system to break the trade-off, 2.75× prior SOTA
Hi-ToM (higher-order theory-of-mind)	84.58% with 99.58% byte-identical replay	15× GPT-4 at order 4 · depth-1000 nested beliefs proven
AMA-Bench (causal + memory reasoning)	63.3%	new SOTA, +6pp over paper baseline
Latency (p95 cache-hit)	80ms	2.5× faster than Mem0

Full breakdown: neruva.io/benchmarks. The only memory stack hitting world-class scores on memory, reasoning, AND audit determinism — simultaneously.

What's new in 0.25.0 — qa_optimized + recency_first graduated

The LongMemEval 93.3% recipe lifted into the substrate. agent_recall now accepts two opt-in flags (both default off, backwards compatible):

• mode="qa_optimized" — 3× over-fetches the candidate pool and BM25-RRF-fuses (k=60) over the text. Lifts records whose text contains specific entity tokens (brand names, amounts, dates, IDs) that pure semantic embedding under-weights. Worth ~+20pp on memory-QA benchmarks.
• recency_first=true — re-sorts returned records by ts desc after ranking. Use for knowledge-update questions where the most recent statement wins over older contradictory ones.

Pair them for the strongest memory-QA recipe. Auto-router in neruva-record 0.19+ suggests both automatically when the intent classifier hits recall_extended.

What's new in 0.24.0 — Code-graph bare-name resolution

code_kg_module_of and code_kg_class_of now accept short identifiers like bind (no module prefix). When the substrate sees an unqualified name, it falls back to a 1-hop called_by lookup to find the likely qualified target.

What's new in 0.22.0 — Auto-pilot surface (the moat)

Two new tools complete the auto-pilot that makes the substrate use itself. The agent automatically routes user intents to the right cognitive primitive AND self-curates memory across sessions, without the user telling it which Neruva tool to call.

• agent_route_intent_prompt — returns the canonical 18-pattern intent classifier (counterfactual / analogy / theory-of-mind / rule induction / causal / planning / recall / comparison / state / composition / decision / mistake + 6 code-graph navigation intents). Pair with NERUVA_AUTO_ROUTE=1 in neruva-record for hands-free routing on every user prompt.
• agent_reflect_prompt — returns the canonical reflection prompt that extracts durable decisions / facts / mistakes / open questions from recent turns. Pair with NERUVA_AUTO_REFLECT=1 in neruva-record for hands-free self-curation. Next session boots with curated context, not raw transcript.

Both endpoints are pattern-C: substrate emits a prompt, caller LLM runs it in its normal turn, structured result pushed back via existing tools. Substrate stays $0/call. Combined with the existing hd_kg_extraction_prompt (Layer 1 — auto-extract on records_ingest), the three layers form a complete auto-pilot.

See neruva-record v0.11+ for the SDK that wires these into Claude Code's hook system automatically.

What's new in 0.21.0 — code-graph MCP tools

• 5 new code_kg_* tools for sub-ms structural code queries against KGs built locally via neruva-record-code-index: code_kg_callees, code_kg_callers, code_kg_class_of, code_kg_module_of, code_kg_imports. Thin wrappers over hd_kg_query with "Call this when..." routing nudges.
• Tool-description routing nudges. All high-leverage tools (records_*, agent_recall/context/remember, hd_kg_query, hd_analogy, hd_causal_query, agent_counterfactual_rollout, agent_model_belief(_add), agent_register_action, agent_plan_efe, agent_induce_rule, agent_extract_schema, agent_hierarchical_decode) lead with "Call this when..." so LLMs route into the right substrate primitive without explicit prompting.

What's new in 0.18.3 — depth-unlimited theory of mind + 125× faster cleanup

• Theory of mind is now depth-unlimited (v0.5.4 substrate fix). Position-tagged at every chain index via non-commutative permutation binding. Inner-position swaps correctly reject; recursive self- reference (same agent at multiple chain positions) works natively.
• Cleanup acceleration via FAISS-binary popcount. OPB query stage 2 uses SIMD popcount over sign-quantized atoms with deterministic float32 cosine rerank. Substantially faster on warm queries; replay bit-identical.
• 551× compression on stored OPB pages (rank-12 SVD). Persistence blobs that were >100 MB now fit in under 1 MB at perfect recall on round-trip.

The 9-level cognitive ladder — no LLM vendor ships rows 3-9

The substrate now exposes the full 9-level cognitive ladder. Every primitive runs sub-100ms, deterministic from seed, behind one MCP install.

#	Capability	MCP tool(s)	Frontier LLM equivalent
1	Vector retrieval (OPB pages + spectral routing)	records_query(engine="opb")	Pinecone/Zep (Level 1 only)
2	KG + Pearl do-operator + HD analogy + CBR	hd_kg_* · agent_causal_query · hd_analogy · hd_cbr_*	nobody
3	Theory of Mind (nested belief)	agent_model_belief_add · agent_model_belief	hallucinates at depth
4	Counterfactual rollouts ("what if k → a'?")	agent_counterfactual_rollout	confabulates
5	Schema lifting (analogical pattern matching)	agent_extract_schema	needs fine-tuning
6	Active Inference planning (Friston EFE)	agent_register_action · agent_plan_efe	not a primitive
7	Few-shot rule induction	agent_induce_rule	fine-tune (many examples)
8	Persistent rule storage	agent_persist_rule · agent_recall_rule	re-feed demos every recall
9	Continual learning, zero forgetting	agent_continual_train · agent_continual_predict	catastrophic forgetting
+	Hierarchical chunking (recursive L^K decode)	agent_hierarchical_add · agent_hierarchical_decode	not a primitive

~80 tools across Records, KG, Causal, Analogy, CBR, Blend, federated agent_*, the 9 cognitive primitives above, self-introspection.

Why this is unique

Every primitive in rows 3-9 is a graduated, production-shipped engine. No published memory vendor offers more than rows 1-2. Substrate-augmented small LLMs can match frontier-class agentic capabilities at a fraction of the cost per recall.

The substrate, in one paragraph

Five layers, one API. Records = typed agentic events (decisions, mistakes, tool_calls, llm_turns; auto-embedded at D=1024). Knowledge Graph = mutable structured state across 5 engines, sub-ms cosine retrieval, matrix-power N-hop derive. Causal = Pearl's do-operator (observation vs intervention arithmetically distinct). Analogy = a:b::c:? in HD feature space. Concept Blending = provenance-preserving merge of multiple memories. CBR = factored episode store. The new federated agent_* layer (agent_remember / agent_recall / agent_context) routes across all substrates so a single call handles "where does X store, and how do I get it back?"

Deterministic from a seed. Replayable bit-exactly. Portable as .neruva containers — your data is yours.

Three-line LangChain integration

# pip install neruva-langchain
from neruva_langchain import NeruvaChatMessageHistory
history = NeruvaChatMessageHistory(namespace="user_alice")
# wire into any chain that takes BaseChatMessageHistory

Same pattern: neruva-langgraph (BaseCheckpointSaver + BaseStore), neruva-crewai (Storage interface + 3 memory flavors).

Auto-record for Claude Code

pip install neruva-record && neruva-record-install

Every Claude Code session lands in your Neruva account: tool calls, chat turns, secrets-redacted client-side, queryable across sessions.

Optional: NERUVA_AUTO_RECORD=namespace[:ttl_days] — every tool call this agent makes auto-records into the named records namespace. Fire-and-forget, never blocks or breaks the call.
