It replaces general-purpose LLMs in these systems, deciding what data to store, how to represent it, and how to update persistent memory banks. The model was trained in two stages—**Memory On-Policy Distillation (OPD)** followed by **Attributed Memory Reinforcement Learning**—and achieves cross-harness macro-average scores on a fixed 20% benchmark matrix, including **EverMemOS**, which was held out from training.\n\nTencent provides deployment instructions via **vLLM (v0.31.0)** with an OpenAI-compatible API. The model is available on **Hugging Face** with weights, configuration, and a model card. Benchmarking details, including six metrics (LoCoMo Judge, LongMemEval, PersonaMem-v2, Travel SPS, Shopping PS, and Code Memory Bench), are documented in an accompanying **arXiv report**. The framework code and utilities are open-source on **GitHub**.","keyPoints":["Hy-Memory-30B-A3B (~3B params) replaces general-purpose LLMs in memory frameworks like Mem0 and MemOS","Trained via OPD and reinforcement learning, tested on EverMemOS (held-out benchmark)","Deployable via vLLM (v0.31.0) with OpenAI-compatible API; weights on Hugging Face"],"whyItMatters":"This model improves persistent memory systems for chat, coding, and task-specific scenarios, reducing reliance on retrieval-augmented generation.
