Hi,

There are 3 major differences between Zep and CORE 1. Market: Zep is B2B focused, CORE indvidual users 2. Portablity: Zep is locked to their platform , CORE works across claude, cursor, windsurf 3. Architecture: Zep is Temporal based vs CORE is Reified + Temporal based graph

What this means:

Zep remembers what happened when CORE remembers what happened when + why we should believe it + how facts relate

Example: You say "I love Thai food" → Later: "Actually, I hate Thai food"

Zep: "You hate Thai food" (old preference vanishes) CORE: "You currently hate Thai food. This contradicts your earlier statement from [date/source]. The change came from your correction today."

Bottom line: CORE provides full explainability and audit trails that Zep cannot.

IMHO, if something isn’t part of the contract, it should be randomized. Eg if iteration order of maps isn’t guaranteed in your language, then your language should go out of its way to randomize it. Otherwise, you end up with brittle code: code that works fine until it doesn’t.
