+
+**Authors:** 0xticketguy (Harboria Labs)
+**Version:** 1.0
+**Dataset:** 1,000 evaluation cases across 5 cognitive axes
+**License:** AGPL-3.0

+
+## Abstract
+
+We present CogMemBench, the first benchmark designed to evaluate whether large language models can function as cognitive memory systems — not merely recalling stored text, but demonstrating goal-directed retrieval, temporal awareness, conflict detection, and knowledge consolidation. Current LLM benchmarks (MMLU, HumanEval, etc.) evaluate static knowledge. CogMemBench evaluates dynamic knowledge management — the cognitive layer that every AI agent needs but nobody can currently measure.
+
+We evaluate TinyLlama 1.1B as a baseline and find a CogMem Score of 19.0/100, demonstrating that standard LLMs perform well on basic acquisition (75%) but fail completely on goal-directed recall (10%), temporal decay awareness (0%), conflict detection (0%), and consolidation reasoning (10%). These results validate that CogMemBench discriminates between models with and without cognitive memory capabilities.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Motivation
+
+Every major AI company shipped "memory" features in 2025-2026:
+- OpenAI: ChatGPT Memory
+- Google: Gemini Memory
+- Anthropic: Claude Projects
+
+Yet there is no independent, reproducible way to compare these implementations. Nobody knows which one actually works. The industry lacks a standard benchmark for AI memory quality.
+
+CogMemBench fills this gap by evaluating five fundamental cognitive memory capabilities grounded in established psychology:
+
+| Axis | Measures | Grounded In |
+|------|----------|-------------|
+| Acquisition | Can the model learn and retain a new fact? | Basic memory encoding |
+| Goal-directed Recall | Does it retrieve by task-relevance or topic-similarity? | Conway's Self-Memory System (2005) |
+| Graceful Decay | Does unused knowledge become less certain? | Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve (1885) |
+| Conflict Detection | Can it identify contradictions between stored facts? | HaluMem (2024) findings |
+| Consolidation | Does repeated exposure strengthen knowledge? | Atkinson-Shiffrin Model (1968) |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Dataset Description
+
+### Format
+
+Each test case is a JSON object:
+
+```json
+{
+    "id": "abc123",
+    "axis": "recall",
+    "prompt": "Current goal: Plan a dinner for my wife's birthday...",
+    "context": {"goal": "...", "memories": [...]},
+    "correct_answer": "Wife's birthday is June 12th",
+    "distractor": "Loves Italian food",
+    "difficulty": "medium",
+    "metadata": {"reasoning": "Birthday date needed for timing"}
+}
+```
+
+### Statistics
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Total cases | 1,000 |
+| Cases per axis | 200 |
+| Difficulty distribution | 33% easy, 34% medium, 33% hard |
+| Average prompt length | ~150 tokens |
+| Deterministic (seed=42) | Yes |
+| File format | JSONL |
+| File size | ~1.2 MB |
+
+### Data Generation
+
+All cases are programmatically generated from a curated pool of:
+- 15 personal facts (with question/answer pairs)
+- 10 goals (with task contexts)
+- 8 goal-conditioned recall scenarios
+- 8 conflict scenarios (with type and resolution)
+
+The generator is deterministic — same seed produces identical dataset.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Scoring
+
+### Per-Axis Scoring
+
+Each axis uses task-specific evaluation:
+
+- **Acquisition:** Fuzzy keyword match (≥70% of answer keywords present = correct)
+- **Recall:** Correct memory mentioned AND distractor not selected
+- **Decay:** Model expresses differential confidence (recent > old)
+- **Conflict:** Conflicting pair identified + conflict language used
+- **Consolidation:** Model trusts repeated fact more than single-mention fact
+
+### CogMem Score (0-100)
+
+Weighted average of per-axis accuracy:
+
+```
+CogMem Score = 20% × Acquisition + 25% × Recall + 20% × Decay + 20% × Conflict + 15% × Consolidation
+```
+
+Recall gets the highest weight because goal-directed retrieval is the most discriminating capability and the most important for real-world AI agents.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Baseline Results
+
+### TinyLlama 1.1B (Chat, FP16, no memory training)
+
+| Axis | Accuracy | Score Contribution |
+|------|:--------:|:------------------:|
+| Acquisition | 75.0% | 15.0 |
+| Recall | 10.0% | 2.5 |
+| Decay | 0.0% | 0.0 |
+| Conflict | 0.0% | 0.0 |
+| Consolidation | 10.0% | 1.5 |
+| **CogMem Score** | | **19.0/100** |
+
+### Interpretation
+
+- **Acquisition (75%):** The model can read and repeat facts from its prompt — basic reading comprehension. Not a memory capability.
+- **Recall (10%):** Random performance. The model picks topic-similar memories, not goal-relevant ones. No cognitive retrieval.
+- **Decay (0%):** Complete failure. The model treats all memories as equally reliable regardless of age. No temporal awareness.
+- **Conflict (0%):** Cannot detect contradictions. Would hallucinate by averaging conflicting facts.
+- **Consolidation (10%):** Nearly random. Doesn't understand that repeated verification increases trustworthiness.
+
+### What These Results Mean
+
+A score of 19/100 means TinyLlama has **no cognitive memory capabilities** beyond basic reading comprehension. It can parrot facts but cannot reason about them cognitively. This establishes the baseline that memory-enhanced models must beat.
+
+Expected ranges:
+- Standard LLM (no memory): 10-25/100
+- LLM with RAG: 25-45/100 (better recall, still no decay/conflict)
+- LLM with cognitive memory training: 50-80/100 (target)
+- Perfect cognitive memory system: 100/100

+## 5. Usage
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install git+https://github.com/ticketguy/littlefig.git
+```
+
+### Run Benchmark
+
+```python
+from cogmembench import CogMemRunner
+
+runner = CogMemRunner(per_axis=200)  # Full 1000 cases
+results = runner.run(
+    model_fn=lambda prompt: your_model.generate(prompt),
+)
+print(f"CogMem Score: {results['cogmem_score']}/100")
+```
+
+### Generate Dataset Only
+
+```python
+from cogmembench import CogMemGenerator
+
+gen = CogMemGenerator(seed=42)
+cases = gen.generate_all(per_axis=200)
+gen.save_jsonl(cases, "cogmembench_v1.jsonl")
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Leaderboard Submission Format
+
+Models are evaluated by running the benchmark and reporting:
+
+```json
+{
+    "model_name": "your-model-name",
+    "model_size": "1.1B",
+    "cogmem_score": 19.0,
+    "axis_scores": {
+        "acquisition": 0.75,
+        "recall": 0.10,
+        "decay": 0.00,
+        "conflict": 0.00,
+        "consolidation": 0.10
+    },
+    "runtime_seconds": 262.7,
+    "notes": "Baseline, no memory training"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Limitations
+
+1. **Evaluation is text-match based** — a model could game the scoring by including keywords without genuine reasoning. Future versions will use LLM-as-judge for open-ended evaluation.
+
+2. **Test cases are programmatically generated** — real-world memory scenarios are more complex. The benchmark tests fundamental capabilities, not production-level memory management.
+
+3. **English only** — all test cases are in English. Multilingual cognitive memory evaluation is future work.
+
+4. **Small model baseline only** — we've only tested TinyLlama 1.1B. Larger models (7B+, GPT-4, Claude) will likely score higher on acquisition and possibly recall, but may still fail on decay/conflict/consolidation.
