Why it matters

Persistent state is becoming a core constraint for agents that operate across days and applications. Metis tests whether some of that state can move from vector databases and prompts into the model's computation itself.

MemTensor, the Shanghai AI developer founded by former Alibaba data executive Xiong Feiyu, released a family of models designed to maintain memory inside the model backbone instead of repeatedly retrieving old text from an external database.…
