Maximem Synap Updates: Higher Scores, 17 Integrations, and a Live Playground
Synap updates: 92% LongMemEval (up from 90.2%), 93.2% LOCOMO, 17 framework integrations, a browser playground, public pricing, and a free accuracy eval on your own agent.

How Synap Works Under the Hood
We launched Maximem Synap today. Here's a peek into how it is built.

Synap Scores 92% on LongMemEval, 93.2% on LoCoMo: What the Numbers Mean
Synap outperforms existing memory systems by redesigning context management on leading benchmarks; delivering higher accuracy, lower latency, and stable performance at scale through structured, domain-specific architectures.

File vs Vector for RAG
File-driven context management has been the rage in the last few days, especially since Claude CoWork launched. It made me curious and I tried a few things. I ran an experiment across 5 distinct domains: from Python code to scientific papers. I ingested 50,000 documents from popular datasets and fired 5,000 queries at them. The goal? To find out what all the noise about file-based search is. And if it is even real!
