ANT-OS — A Biological Operating System

Why ANT-OS

Not a chatbot. A substrate.

Always learning

ANTs are never "trained." They're always training. Feed the colony data and it digests, categorizes, and builds knowledge continuously.

Persistent memory

3-tier semantic memory with embeddings, pinned facts, notes, conversation threading, and importance weighting. Context survives across sessions.

Self-organizing

13 specialized roles handle different functions. ANTs are born, promoted, die, and get recycled. No orchestration required.

One brain, many surfaces

92 REST API endpoints let any app — your editor, terminal, notes app — read and write to the same memory substrate.

Memory

Three-tier semantic memory

Every interaction feeds into a biological memory system. Hot memories consolidate into archives, then into long-term storage with 48-dimensional semantic embeddings. Notes, pinned facts, and conversation threads persist across sessions.

Hot · 4,096 entries

Recent context and working memory. Fast access, continuous updates. Automatically consolidated when full.

Archive · 2,048 entries

Consolidated from hot tier. Merged, deduplicated, importance-weighted. Feeds into long-term when mature.

Long-term · Unlimited

48D FastText PCA embeddings. Semantic similarity search. The permanent knowledge substrate.

Notes & Pins

Explicit note storage, pinned facts for core identity, conversation threading with importance controls.

ant> tell me about your memory I have 3 tiers of memory. Hot memories (4096 slots) hold recent context. Archives (2048 slots) consolidate patterns. Long-term memory stores knowledge with 48-dimensional semantic embeddings for similarity search.
