Memory operating system for LLMs and agents with official local plugins for Hermes Agent and OpenClaw
MemOS is a Memory Operating System for LLMs and AI agents that unifies storing, retrieving and managing long-term memory. Its README announces official local memory plugins for Hermes Agent and OpenClaw.
What MemOS does
MemOS unifies store, retrieve and manage operations for long-term memory. The README lists a unified memory API structured as an inspectable graph, multi-modal memory covering text, images, tool traces and personas, multi-cube knowledge base management, asynchronous ingestion through MemScheduler, and natural-language feedback that corrects or replaces memories over time.
For Hermes Agent, the README news section describes an official local memory plugin launched in April 2026 with hybrid retrieval (FTS5 plus vector), smart dedup, tiered skill evolution and multi-agent collaboration, running fully locally with no cloud dependency. In May 2026 it announced memos-local-plugin 2.0, an official local plugin for Hermes Agent and OpenClaw built on L1 traces, L2 policies, L3 world models and crystallized Skills. OpenClaw also has cloud and local plugins, and a DeepSeek Harness plugin adds automatic recall and a local Memory Viewer.
