Milla Jovovich just released an AI memory system. It reached over 1.5 million people and 5,400 GitHub stars in less than 24 hours.

Problem: None of the benchmark scores are real. Yesterday an X account belonging to a developer named Ben Sigman posted the launch of an open-source AI memory project called MemPalace . The post claimed "100% on LoCoMo" and "the first perfect score ever recorded on LongMemEval. 500/500 questions, every category at 100%." It credited the actress Milla Jovovich as a co-author. The GitHub account hosting the repository is named milla-jovovich/mempalace . The first commit to the repository is dated April 5. As of this writing, less than 24 hours after the launch post, the repository has approximately 5,400 stars and over 1.5 million views on the launch tweet. For comparison: open-source memory projects with similar architectures and similar honest baseline numbers typically receive just a handful of stars in their first week. The variable producing the orders-of-magnitude difference in engagement is not the engineering. The engineering, as we'll demonstrate, is in some respects interesting
