Building a persistent cognitive architecture for LLM agents using Elixir and OTP
Summary
An in-depth look at Skynet, a persistent cognitive architecture for LLM agents implemented in Elixir/OTP. It presents a three-tier memory system (short-, medium-, and long-term) with a memory graph and mechanisms like forgetting, Hebbian tracking, and metacognition. The piece blends practical Elixir code with neuroscience-inspired concepts and discusses deployment considerations and safety.
