Measurable performance at finding and using the right context

Good answers across sessions require both the right evidence and a reader that uses it. LoCoMo measures the first step; BEAM-100K measures the end-to-end pipeline. We publish the numbers and configuration for each run.

  • 96.58% evidence recall@10 on LoCoMo. +2.1 pp vs published open-source leader (94.5%)
  • 80.8% end-to-end binary accuracy on BEAM-100K (323/400 correct across 20 conversations; reader GLM-5.3 Flash (Ox Alpha); judge GLM-5.2; effort=max; run 2026-08-23; ~44% slower than default effort; this benchmark setup is not the chat default)
  • LoCoMo retrieval: ~0.84s per query on CPU · 0 LLM calls in ranking

LoCoMo: +2.1 pp vs pmb. Canonical run: 2026-07-29; 1,918/1,986 hits (96.58%).

BEAM-100K, run 2026-08-23: GLM-5.3 Flash (Ox Alpha), effort=max, judge GLM-5.2. This setting was about 44% slower than default effort. It is an end-to-end benchmark result, not the chat default or independent validation.

What we measure and what we do not

We measure

  • Long-horizon conversational evidence retrieval (LoCoMo recall@10)
  • End-to-end multi-session memory answers (BEAM-100K binary accuracy)
  • Ranking without calling an LLM in the retrieval path

Do not confuse with

  • ·Multi-tenant isolation or role-based permission filtering
  • ·Team handoffs, knowledge gaps, or veracity/origin badges
  • ·Production Ask citation fidelity or latency under live tenant workloads

LoCoMo measures retrieval; BEAM-100K measures end-to-end answers on synthetic conversations. Organizational memory (permission, origin, multi-person + multi-agent) is product capability outside both scores.

Why this matters for the product

In plain language: when someone asks “what did we decide?”, the system must surface the right evidence without inventing and without spending LLM tokens just to rank. That is the foundation; permission, origin, and shared memory for people and agents sit on top.

Fast, cheap ranking

CPU, sub-second, zero LLM calls in the ranking step. Predictable cost.

Private ranking path

The query need not go to a third-party model just to order results.

EN + PT-BR

Bilingual stopwords and multilingual embeddings for real workspaces.

Product foundation

The same core powers Ask, MCP, and organizational memory, with permission and origin on top.

Methodology (honest and reproducible)

  • Per-conversation isolation: clean collection, query, purge.
  • Evidence recall@10 protocol aligned with published LoCoMo; hybrid retrieval plus content-graph reordering (engineering detail lives in the engine repo).
  • Full BEAM-100K split, run 2026-08-23: 323/400 correct answers across 20 conversations. Reader GLM-5.3 Flash (Ox Alpha), effort=max; judge GLM-5.2. Cross-system scores with different readers and judges are indicative only.
  • Numbers on this page come from lib/benchmarks.ts, the SaaS canonical source. We do not invent percentages in the UI.

What this saves

The math with your numbers: team size, hours lost looking for context, and what is left after. The assumption stays visible, so you can disagree with it.
