On-Device Memory Improvements for LLM Chat

Drop-in improvements for on-device chat apps using small language models with semantic memory (e.g., Llama-3.2-3B + EmbeddingGemma-300M + SQLite vector store).

📦 Files

File	Purpose
src/types.ts	Type definitions & configuration
src/deduplication.ts	Improvement 1: Mem0-style ADD/UPDATE/NOOP deduplication
src/memoryDecay.ts	Improvement 2: Heat-based decay & eviction (MemoryOS)
src/typedMemory.ts	Improvement 3: ENGRAM-style episodic/semantic/procedural router
src/assistantMemory.ts	Improvement 4: Store AI replies as memories
src/smartFilter.ts	Improvement 5: Only store declarative/factual content
src/dynamicRetrieval.ts	Improvement 6: Adaptive top-k, threshold, type filtering
src/schema.ts	SQLite schema migration
src/index.ts	ImprovedMemoryService class (combines all improvements)
src/integrationGuide.ts	Exact code changes for each file in your app
src/beforeAfterWalkthrough.ts	Side-by-side comparison of old vs new behavior
tests/demo.py	Validated Python demo showing all improvements

🚀 Quick Start

import { ImprovedMemoryService, DEFAULT_MEMORY_CONFIG } from './src';

const memoryService = new ImprovedMemoryService(db, embedFn, DEFAULT_MEMORY_CONFIG);

// Retrieve memories (replaces your current searchMemories)
const { context, memoryIds } = await memoryService.retrieve(userMessage, embedding);

// Store user message (with smart filtering + dedup)
await memoryService.storeUserMessage(userMessage, embedding);

// Store assistant reply (new!)
await memoryService.storeAssistantReply(assistantReply);

📊 Before vs After

Aspect	Before	After
Memories stored	200+ (noisy)	~80 (clean, deduplicated)
Context slots	5 (3 wasted on duplicates)	4-12 (all unique, relevant)
Token budget	Fixed	Dynamic (100-500 based on query)
Prompt structure	Flat list	Typed sections
Assistant recall	None	Tracks recommendations/promises
Stale memory handling	Never cleaned	Heat-based eviction
Duplicate handling	None	0.85 threshold auto-dedup

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "loudiman/memory-improvements"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

For non-causal architectures, replace AutoModelForCausalLM with the appropriate AutoModel class.
