AI memory systems benchmarked for accuracy and refusal rates

A new benchmark, memory-bench v0.1, has been developed to evaluate the performance of AI memory systems in finding relevant information and, crucially, refusing to answer when information is absent. The benchmark tested systems like Mem0 Agent Memory Framework, Fidelis, and the authors' own sqlite-graph-memory. While sqlite-graph-memory performed comparably to Mem0 in retrieving existing answers, it was three times more likely to refuse to answer when information was not present in the data, particularly for missing attributes.

    Our AI memory finds about as much as Mem0 and says "I don't know" three times as often when the answer is not there. Here is what that costs.
