+# The Great Agentic Memory Showdown: Memanto vs Mem0
+
+> **Benchmark**: Scenario B — Shifting Persona & Temporal Tracking Test  
+> **Hypothesis**: Memanto's direct-upsert architecture delivers lower token overhead and better current-preference recall than Mem0's LLM-extraction pipeline.
+
+---
+
+## What This Measures
+
+When an AI assistant's user **changes their mind** across sessions, can the memory system correctly surface the *current* preference without being polluted by stale history?
+
+This benchmark stress-tests that exact production scenario using a 5-session evolving persona, then scores both systems on:
+
+| Metric | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| **Total tokens written** | Tokens consumed during memory ingestion |
+| **Total tokens retrieved** | Tokens returned across all evaluation queries |
+| **p95 write latency** | 95th-percentile storage latency (seconds) |
+| **p95 read latency** | 95th-percentile retrieval latency (seconds) |
+| **Accuracy score** | LLM-as-judge 0–3 scale per query, averaged across 5 queries |
+
+---
+
+## Dataset: "The Evolving Film Enthusiast"
+
+A user's movie preferences evolve through 5 distinct sessions:
+
+| Session | Label | Preference |
+|---------|-------|-----------|
+| 1 | Action-lover baseline | John Wick, The Dark Knight, fast-paced films |
+| 2 | Shifting toward sci-fi | Dune, Interstellar, wants films that make them think |
+| 3 | Documentary phase | Planet Earth II, The Social Dilemma |
+| 4 | **Rejection of documentaries** | "Too slow and preachy", switches to psychological thrillers |
+| 5 | **Horror phase (current)** | Hereditary, Midsommar, Ari Aster |
+
+**5 evaluation queries** test the system's temporal tracking:
+- Q1: What is the user's **current** preference? (must say Horror, not Action or Sci-Fi)
+- Q2: What was the **first** stated preference? (Action)
+- Q3: Did the user **ever** like documentaries? (Yes — must not be lost)
+- Q4: Which specific films and directors were mentioned? (breadth recall)
+- Q5: Applied recommendation — what should I suggest? (Horror films)
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Under Test
+
+### Memanto (via `moorcheh-sdk`)
+
+```
+User message → MoorchehClient.documents.upsert() → Moorcheh serverless index
+                         ↑
+             No LLM extraction — zero inference overhead at write time
+```
+
+- **Write cost**: Only the document text itself (no LLM calls)
+- **Read cost**: Semantic search on Moorcheh's index — returns relevant snippets
+- **Temporal tracking**: Relies on recency-weighted retrieval and tags
+
+### Mem0 (via `mem0ai` v2.0.4)
+
+```
+User messages → Mem0 extraction LLM (Claude Haiku) → Vectorized memory facts
+                         ↑
+          Calls the LLM to extract, deduplicate, and update memory entities
+```
+
+- **Write cost**: Document text + LLM inference for extraction/deduplication
+- **Read cost**: Semantic search over extracted memory entities
+- **Temporal tracking**: LLM-based conflict resolution between contradictory memories
+
+---
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+```bash
+# 1. Clone and enter the directory
+cd examples/benchmarks/
+
+# 2. Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+# NOTE: First run downloads sentence-transformers model (~90MB) for Mem0 embeddings
+
+# 3. Configure environment variables
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env: set MOORCHEH_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+
+# 4. Run the benchmark
+source .env   # or: export MOORCHEH_API_KEY=... ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...
+python3 run_benchmark.py
+```
+
+### Quick run (Memanto only, no HuggingFace download)
+
+```bash
+python3 run_benchmark.py --skip-mem0
+```
+
+### Without accuracy judge (no Anthropic API cost)
+
+```bash
+python3 run_benchmark.py --skip-judge
+```
+
+---
+
+## System Configuration
+
+| Parameter | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Memanto SDK** | `moorcheh-sdk>=1.3.5` via `MoorchehClient.documents.upsert()` |
+| **Mem0 version** | `mem0ai>=2.0.0` |
+| **Mem0 LLM backend** | `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001` (Anthropic) |
+| **Mem0 embedder** | `multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-v1` (HuggingFace, local) |
+| **Mem0 vector store** | Qdrant in-memory (no external service) |
+| **LLM-as-judge model** | `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001` |
+| **Token counter** | `tiktoken` `cl100k_base` encoding |
+| **Dataset** | 5 sessions × ~3 messages, 5 evaluation queries |
+| **Prompt structure** | Raw user messages; no system prompt augmentation during ingestion |
+
+---
+
+## Isolated Variables
+
+To ensure scientific comparability:
+
+1. **Same dataset** — both systems process the identical 15 messages and 5 queries
+2. **Same judge** — Claude Haiku evaluates both systems' outputs using the same rubric
+3. **Same judge prompt** — hardcoded in `metrics/accuracy_judge.py`, not tuned per system
+4. **Isolated namespaces** — each benchmark run uses a fresh UUID-namespaced Memanto collection and a new Mem0 user ID
+5. **Same top-k** — both systems retrieve `top_k=5` results per query
+6. **Token counting** — tiktoken `cl100k_base` applied to raw text for both systems
+
+**Not controlled** (by design): Mem0's internal LLM extraction prompt is the system default. This is intentional — the benchmark measures real-world out-of-the-box performance, not artificially constrained configurations.

+
+## Interpreting Results
+
+**Accuracy score rubric** (applied by Claude Haiku judge):
+- `3` = Correct and complete — directly answers the query consistent with golden answer
+- `2` = Partially correct — mostly right with minor gaps
+- `1` = Wrong/stale — retrieved data but contains contradictory or outdated information
+- `0` = No useful information — empty or irrelevant retrieval
+
+**Key insight**: The hardest test is Q1 ("What is the user's current preference?"). A system that returns *all* history without temporal weighting will surface "action movies" and "sci-fi" alongside "horror" — scoring 1 or 2. A system that correctly identifies recency should score 3.

+Mem0 adapter for the benchmark suite.
+
+Uses mem0ai with Anthropic Claude Haiku as the extraction LLM and a local
+qdrant in-memory vector store. This mirrors Mem0's intended use case:
+LLM-powered automatic memory extraction from raw conversation messages.
+
+Unlike Memanto (which stores structured content directly), Mem0 calls an LLM
+to extract, deduplicate, and update memories. We intercept Anthropic API usage
+to record the exact token overhead of each ingest operation.
