Episode notes
MemGPT as LLM Operating System
- MemGPT reframes retrieval augmented generation by treating the LLM as an operating system kernel managing its own memory.
- The LLM actively manages input window limits by reading and writing to memory similar to page replacement in OS.
MemGPT Architecture Overview
- MemGPT architecture includes main context input, external vector database context, and tool use functions for memory reading and writing.
- This mimics operating system behavior with interrupts, events, and function calls to manage memory and external tools.
Agent Using Memory Tools
- MemGPT can be seen as an agent that knows to use memory management tools by deciding what to read from or write to memory.
- This introduces a layer between search results and main context for selective insertion, improving conversational coherence.
