Quick answers

How is WARM different from Mem0, Zep, Chroma or Qdrant?

WARM is a library you embed directly, not a hosted service you call. It includes encryption at rest, signed provenance, and text-erasing purge built into the open-source engine. Vector search runs on a vertex graph index that served 2.29x the queries per second of hnswlib at recall 0.95 on the same machine.

Does it send my data anywhere?

No. The engine makes no network calls and sends no telemetry. Embeddings are either supplied by you or computed by local models from weights you provide; it never downloads a model.

How is this different from Mem0, Zep, Chroma or Qdrant?

WARM is a library you embed, not a service you call, and it puts encryption at rest, signed provenance and a text-erasing purge in the open-source engine itself. Vector search runs on a vertex graph index; on SIFT-1M it served 2.29x the queries per second of hnswlib at recall 0.95 on the same machine (benchmarks section).

What does WARM stand for?

WARM stands for WritersLogic Adaptive Retention & Memory. The fact memory uses holographic reduced representations: many bound facts are superposed into one fixed-size vector, so every part carries a little of the whole and damage degrades recall gradually. Document search is conventional BM25 and cosine and does not claim that property.

Is it really deleted when I delete it?

Delete removes a record from every query at once; its journal frame stays until compaction or purge. Purge rewrites the journal and overwrites the old generation with zeros before it returns. Copies outside the store's files, such as backups, snapshots and SSD wear levelling, are out of any library's reach; encrypt the store when those matter. Signed deletion certificates are research, not yet in the shipped API.
