Hindsight (also AMB, clean comparison) is the proper yardstick; AutoMem trails it 85.1% vs 92%. Honcho's 89.9% is self-reported on its own harness (directional only).
AutoMem's primary numbers now come from the neutral Agent Memory Benchmark — the standardized answerer, judge, and grader the harness ran for AutoMem. BEAM is the one same-harness, apples-to-apples axis against published competitors, and there AutoMem is a clear #2: ahead of Honcho at every scale, with the lead widening to +16.8pp at 10M. Competitor figures elsewhere are their own published / self-reported numbers, and the conversational-recall gap behind Hindsight is named here too, not hidden.
Neutral harness — every provider feeds the same answerer and judge, so the score measures retrieval, not grader mood. BEAM is the only apples-to-apples axis; AutoMem is #2 behind Hindsight. A reproducibility and scaling claim, not a state-of-the-art one.
AutoMem's current primary numbers come from the neutral Agent Memory Benchmark (AMB / vectorize-io), neutral harness, run in single-query / RAG mode with a gemini-3.1-pro-preview answerer and gemini-2.5-flash-lite judge. The provider self-spins its full stack (Self-spinning Docker (FalkorDB + Qdrant), FastEmbed-local bge-base-en-v1.5 (768d), no embedding API keys, lean enrichment (ENRICHMENT_ENABLED=false). Run name automem-sub.). The single biggest reason to trust these: you can run them yourself.
On conversational Core-3, AutoMem trails the AMB leader Hindsight on all three (locomo 85.1 vs 92, longmemeval 74.4 vs 94.6, personamem 76.1 vs 86.6). The strength is large-context BEAM scaling and context-token efficiency, not verbatim conversational recall.
Hindsight (also AMB, clean comparison) is the proper yardstick; AutoMem trails it 85.1% vs 92%. Honcho's 89.9% is self-reported on its own harness (directional only).
AutoMem trails Hindsight 74.4% vs 94.6% on the clean AMB comparison. Honcho's 90.4% is self-reported on its own harness (directional only).
AutoMem trails Hindsight 76.1% vs 86.6% on the clean AMB comparison. Honcho does not report PersonaMem.
BEAM is the only same-benchmark, same-harness, apples-to-apples axis vs published competitors. AutoMem beats Honcho at every tier; the margin grows with scale. AutoMem is a clear #2 behind Hindsight (vectorize's own reference system).
Scores are rubric-mean (0 / 0.5 / 1 per item, averaged) - a different scale than pass/fail benchmarks.

Ten million tokens is about 7.5 million words — the complete works of Shakespeare roughly eight times over, or the entire seven-book Harry Potter series read seven times through. One unbroken haystack.
Ask a single question against a memory store that size, and AutoMem returns just the part you needed — about 3,900 tokens of context, call it 3,000 words, in roughly 1.7 seconds (median, on our own hardware). Not the whole library. The page you were looking for.
AutoMem feeds ~2.6-4.8k context tokens at every scale; the board's leader feeds 17-27k on BEAM. This is architectural, not hardware-dependent. Reported as the mean context tokens fed to the answerer (matches the board's avg_context_tokens metric).
Competitor numbers come from AMB external_results.json (published / self-reported with source attribution), not re-run through the AMB Gemini harness. BEAM is the only same-benchmark, same-harness, apples-to-apples axis vs published competitors. Reproduce with the public image ghcr.io/verygoodplugins/automem:amb-v1 and
AUTOMEM_REPRODUCE.md (one command per split, no embedding API keys).
LongMemEval and LoCoMo are not generic product leaderboards. They stress the two parts of agent memory that matter most in practice: recovering the right evidence from long histories, then using that evidence to answer questions without drifting.
Tests long-range episodic memory: can the system recover facts and updates from a large personal-memory history and answer with the right evidence?
Current full run: 500 questions with a separate answer model and judge.
Tests conversational memory: multi-session QA over long dialogues, including temporal, single-hop, and multi-hop questions.
Current full run: 10 conversations and 1,986 judged questions.
Separates retrieval from answer synthesis: did the five returned memories include the evidence needed to answer correctly?
LongMemEval full reached recall@5 97.00%, so many remaining misses are synthesis or representation work.
Treat this as market context, not a leaderboard. The external rows below are reported by their own projects or papers, usually with different models, judges, token budgets, and ingestion rules.
Generated from the main repository benchmark artifacts with publishable flags, pinned judges, and reproduction links.
Useful research and market context when cited from their own artifacts, but not AutoMem-controlled reruns.
Benchmarks are not apples-to-apples unless dataset version, extraction policy, answer model, judge, context budget, and scale are aligned.
The one axis where AutoMem and published competitors ran the same benchmark under the same neutral harness. AutoMem is #2 — above Honcho at every tier, below Hindsight. LongMemEval-V2 is still tracked as a future surface.
These are public claims and papers found in May 2026. They help readers orient AutoMem, but the rows are not apples-to-apples unless rerun under one harness.

Recent changelog entries show the benchmark harness, evaluator, and recall system maturing before the May full-run verification.
Added the ICLR 2025 LongMemEval benchmark harness and Recall Quality Lab for data-driven recall work.
Added LoCoMo judge coverage, optimized the relationship taxonomy, and fixed benchmark evaluator bugs.
Improved keyword-heavy recall and hardened LoCoMo judge runs against flaky rate limits.
Verified full LongMemEval and LoCoMo runs and promoted only publishable claims.
Submitted to the neutral Agent Memory Benchmark — same answerer and judge as everyone else. A clear #2 on BEAM scaling, with the conversational-recall gap named openly.
These full LongMemEval and LoCoMo runs use AutoMem's own answerer and judge, so they are not comparable to other systems' published numbers. The same answers scored 82.0% under a gpt-5-mini judge and 70.25% under a gpt-5 judge — a ~12-point swing from grader strictness alone. Read these as directional; the neutral AMB numbers above are the comparable ones.
