I'm the Co-founder and CTO of Mem0, which is a self-improving memory layer for LLM applications, enabling personalized AI experiences that save costs and delight users. We are open source and have 20K GitHub stars.

Before founding Mem0, I worked at Tesla as a Senior Autopilot Engineer, where I led the development of the AI Platform. This platform was essential for large-scale training and model evaluation for the Autopilot team. My role involved monitoring job performance, troubleshooting training clusters, automating machine learning workflows, and developing a centralized platform for engineers and researchers to access metrics, logs, and data.

My experience also includes creating various tools and infrastructure to improve machine learning processes, including 3D labeling software, model evaluation tools, and active learning-based label enhancement software.

Academically, I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science with a focus on Machine Learning from Georgia Tech. My research has concentrated on enhancing the accuracy of Artificial Intelligence and understanding human intentions and behaviors. I've been honored with the Snap Research Scholarship and gained experience as an intern at Snap Research.

Additionally, I spearhead EvalAI, an open-source platform dedicated to evaluating and comparing ML and AI algorithms at scale.

deshraj··on Show HN: Sim Studio – Open-Source Agent Workflow GUI
Congratulations, Emir and Waleed! This is exactly the kind of OSS tooling I’ve been waiting for. I’ve spent countless hours wrestling with multi-step agent workflows hidden inside monolithic prompts, and every iteration felt like shooting in the dark. Having a drag-and-drop, executable graph with built-in branching, loops, and observability is a game-changer.

Ah I see. We do support running Mem0 locally with Ollama. You can checkout our docs here: https://docs.mem0.ai/examples/mem0-with-ollama

100% agree. I have seen similar issues related to both quality and performance of ChatGPT Memory feature.

Shameless plug: We have been working on this problem at Mem0 to solve the long-term memory problem with LLMs. GitHub: https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0

deshraj··on Show HN: Claude Memory – Long-term memory for Claude
Yes, you can run Mem0 locally since we have open sourced it but would need some more work to have a server up and running to be able to interact with Claude. GitHub: https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0

It only support Chrome for now. I built this in few hours quickly to solve my problem. Happy to accept contributions to the repository if someone builds it.

Yes, it won't scale well. I have used postgres exactly the way you specified in my past job and it didn't scale well after a certain point.

Thanks for the question. Here's how Mem0 differs from ChatGPT memory:

1. LLM Compatibility: Mem0 works with various AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, etc.), while ChatGPT memory is tied to OpenAI's models only.

2. Target Audience: Mem0 is built for developers creating AI applications, whereas ChatGPT memory is for ChatGPT users.

3. Quality and Performance: Our evaluations show Mem0 outperforms ChatGPT memory in several areas:

    - Consistency: Mem0 updates memories more reliably across multiple instances.

    - Reliability: ChatGPT memory can be inconsistent with the same prompts, while Mem0 aims for more consistent performance.

    - Speed: Mem0 typically creates memories in about 2 seconds, compared to ChatGPT's 30-40 seconds to reflect new memories.
4. Flexibility: Mem0 offers more customization options for developers, allowing better integration into various AI applications.

These differences make Mem0 a better choice for developers building AI apps that need efficient memory capabilities.

We already support the feature of inclusion and exclusion of memories where the developer can control what things to remember vs not remember for their AI app/agent. For example, you can specify something like this:

- Inclusion prompt: User's travel preferences and food choices - Exclusion prompt: Credit card details, passport number, SSN etc.

Although we definitely think that there is scope to make it better and we are actively working on it. Please let us know if you have feedback/suggestions. Thanks!

Thanks yding! Definitely agree with the feedback here. We have seen similar things when talking to developers where they want:

- Control over what to remember/forget - Ability to set how detailed memories should be (some want more detailed vs less detailed) - Different structure of the memories based on the use case

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, we are definitely planning to add support for other graph datastores including Memgraph and others.

Hey, Deshraj from Mem0 team. Right now you cannot change the “user” you are chatting as yet but we can definitely make it happen. Will ship this update later today. :)

Really useful. It's amazing to see the list of apps that you guys have on the website!!!
deshraj··on Meet “Claude”: Anthropic’s rival to ChatGPT
Somebody is maintaining an awesome claude repo with claude use cases, claude vs chatgpt comparisons as well. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34404536
deshraj··on Launch HN: MergeQueue (YC S21) – Automate rebasing and merging for your codebase
Congratulations on the launch. Great idea and definitely agree that this is a problem at a lot of companies.

Although I am curious about if there is enough market for this product. Would love to hear back any market research you guys have done before. Thanks! :)

deshraj··on Caliper: Hire the Best in Artificial Intelligence
Hi everyone,

I am Deshraj, a co-founder at Caliper, a platform for recruiting AI talent.

As ML/AI roles grow, we need scalable ways to test candidates' practical ML skills at the screening stage (before they come for an onsite interview).

This exists for testing CS algorithms/data structures in the usual coding interviews, but performance on those isn't necessarily correlated with practical ML / AI skills.

It would be nice if recruiters or hiring managers could create a challenge around some (say toy) data, invite candidates to participate in the challenge, see how they compare on a leaderboard, look at their code if they'd like, and then decide if they'd like to interview (and eventually hire!) the candidates.

Caliper provides exactly this. Would this be of interest?
