Core Concepts
Memory System
Auto-compacting memory system for context preservation
Intelligent Context Management
Siya’s memory system is a sophisticated context management solution that maintains relevant information while optimizing performance. Through intelligent auto-compacting and semantic preservation, Siya remembers what matters without getting overwhelmed by details.
Memory Architecture Overview
Siya's multi-tier memory architecture ensures efficient context management
Memory Types
Active Context Buffer
The immediate context of your current conversation or task
Characteristics
Characteristics
Capacity
- ~100K tokens typical
- ~200K tokens maximum
- Dynamic allocation
- Priority-based retention
Contents
- Current conversation
- Active task state
- Recent tool outputs
- Immediate context
Working memory is the most actively managed component, constantly optimized for relevance

Optimization Techniques
Optimization Techniques
1
Deduplication
Remove redundant information and repeated content
2
Compression
Summarize verbose outputs while preserving key information
3
Prioritization
Keep critical information, discard trivial details
4
Chunking
Group related information for efficient retrieval
Auto-Compacting System
Intelligent Memory Optimization
The auto-compacting system continuously optimizes memory usage without losing critical information
Compaction Process
Compaction Process
Multi-stage compaction process preserves important information while reducing size
Compaction Strategies
Compaction Strategies
1
Identify Verbose Content
Find long outputs, detailed logs, repetitive information
2
Extract Key Information
Preserve facts, decisions, outcomes, errors
3
Generate Summary
Create concise representation maintaining meaning
4
Validate Completeness
Ensure no critical information lost
Performance Impact
Performance Impact
Benefits
- 50-70% memory reduction
- Faster response times
- Extended conversations
- Better context relevance
- Reduced token costs
Trade-offs
- Slight processing overhead
- Potential detail loss
- Compaction pauses
- Recovery complexity
Compaction typically takes 100-500ms and happens seamlessly during natural pauses
