Hippo

A local SQLite memory layer for CLI agents with an opt-in Jev reranker that batches Noul judgments over the top 40 recalled memories and falls back to a local cross-encoder on errors.

Highlights

  • The opt-in Jev reranker lifted R@1 from 0.41 to 0.62 on a private 300-query store for about $0.0004 per recall.
  • The author's study found better ranking but no demonstrated answer-quality gain over the free local cross-encoder, and that negative result is published.
  • Default recall uses BM25 with no embeddings and scores R@5 74.0% on LongMemEval; the 1000-event ingestion smoke made 0 outbound HTTP.
  • Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, OpenCode, and any MCP client, storing memories in SQLite with markdown mirrors and zero runtime dependencies.
  • Enabling the Jev reranker is the one switch that sends data out: the query and candidate memories go to TypeSafe.

Quickstart

bash
npm install -g hippo-memory && hippo init --scan ~
hippo recall "data pipeline" --why --limit 5
hippo recall "data pipeline" --reranker jev

Watch out

MIT-licensed. Needs Node.js 22.5+ and, for the reranker, a TypeSafe key; enabling Jev sends the query and candidate memories to TypeSafe.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x
