The honest brief

Letta

The productized MemGPT successor — agents edit their own memory blocks (memory-as-OS) to manage a finite context window.

  • Self-editing agent memory
  • Open source, model-agnostic
  • REST APIs + multi-language SDKs
  • Reference architecture for memory
  • Developer-focused, not no-code
  • Memory model has a learning curve
  • Younger, evolving framework

mem0

Fastest path to agent memory — extracts distilled facts with a tiny token footprint and the biggest community.

  • Quick to adopt, broad framework integrations
  • Stores distilled facts, small footprint
  • Vector + graph + key-value storage
  • Open-source with usable free tier
  • Weaker on temporal/state-change queries
  • LLM call on every write adds latency
  • Test deletion/conflict handling for regulated use
  • More library than full memory server
