AI Has Amnesia. Here's Every System Built to Fix It

A developer surveys the landscape of memory systems designed to address the 'amnesia' problem in AI, where models forget past interactions. The post catalogs various approaches, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, and context windows, explaining how each aims to give AI persistent memory. The developer argues that while no single solution is perfect, combining these systems can significantly improve AI's ability to maintain coherent long-term conversations.
