Great product, thanks for releasing it for the opensource community. Have you considered replacing Neo4j with something more cost-effective like Memgraph?

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, we are definitely planning to add support for other graph datastores including Memgraph and others.

Does the structure of data & query patterns required demand a graph store for acceptable performance? Would a Postgres-based triplestore & recursive CTE’s suck badly?

What's up with all the flagged comments?

I'm also confused. They seem positive and constructive. Do mods detect that these are some kind of automated bots?

I observed at least two brand new accounts posting some variety of “kudos”, not flagged into oblivion (yet). Gives me the ick, i guess it’s better to know mem0 is a shady marketer (maybe they are also a shady operator).

Yes, it won't scale well. I have used postgres exactly the way you specified in my past job and it didn't scale well after a certain point.

I flagged some (most? not sure) of them as booster comments, presumably by friends trying to help the submitters out. HN users aren't supposed to do that and YC founders are given strict instructions not to do it (and scoldings when it happens), but it's impossible to prevent completely. People's friends try to "help" them and don't realize that it's actually the opposite of helping.

See the "Comments" section of the Launch HN instructions for YC startups (https://news.ycombinator.com/yli.html) for an example of how strongly we emphasize this.

There was even more before. Some has been removed completely.

If you turn on 'showdead' in your profile you can see all killed comments. (This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.)

There's only one level of removal beyond that ("[deleted]") but we never do that as moderators. "[deleted]" always means either that the author deleted the post themselves or asked us to do it for them.

Congrats on the launch. Adding a memory layer to LLMs is a real painpoint. I've been experimenting with mem0 and it solves a real problem that I failed to solve myself, and we're going to use it in production.

One question that I've heard a few times now: will you support the open source version as a first class citizen for the long term? A lot of open source projects with a paid version follow a similar strategy. They use the open source repo to get traction, but then the open source version gets neglected and users are eventually pushed to the paid version. How committed are you to supporting the open source version long term?
