Well, I've been using it more than two weeks (though I did just spend a month in Tokyo) so ... not sure how to answer that :)

Do you mean generally though - how many facts does it extract from a typical document of X length? Or do you mean what my own personal corpus currently is?

Size of your personal corpus is a rough signal of usefulness. If you've been using it a while and you have 500 facts, thats very different from 5000 facts.

My crappy personal system is a telegram channel "Today I Learned" that grows at roughly 5 messages per day. The search is obviously much worse than your tool.

The design of no rewrites for facts storage was an approach I have not seen from any of my friends' agent memory setups, so that difference struck my curiosity for how well its working in practice.

Got it. Answer in 3 parts.

If you're talking about the "Fastrecall" part of it, it's clamped to around 3000 entries. Beyond that...I mean...it's just a JSON file. How much do you hate yourself? lol :)

I use mine as intended (well, by me) as a short term memory store with a TTL of 14 days. Right now it has...350ish stored facts with different expiration dates. You can play around with the settings and max resets (touches), but if ctx > max_items, janitor rolls in and the oldest get pruned anyway.

If you're talking about the chat bloat control part (cut the crap), I set mine to keep the last 2 user/assistant pairs and a soft cap of 2000 characters. That middle part obviously decays during the chat. I like to keep my chatty fast.

If you're asking about the KB (attach) system: generally speaking, the SUMM function seems to generate a summary of upto about 1500 characters. That's what...250 words? Short and sweet...because again, potato pc + smart grep = don't be stupid.

In theory, the KB thing is limited by you SSD and pain tolerance. I have about 1500 items I query against and it's still in the sub-secondish range.

Does that answer it? None of this shit is enterprise grade; it's purely for personal use.
