Hugging Face releases Funes: cross-agent durable memory for coding agents
Hugging Face
HF's Sep 3 blog introduces Funes, an open-source memory layer (github.com/huggingface/funes) that indexes session traces from Claude Code, Codex, pi, and Hermes into a local Lance dataset with local embedding/reranking, exposing recall/get tools with provenance and optional private sync to a HF dataset you own. Its benchmark shows recall 4-8x cheaper than written handoffs or compaction.
Why it matters
Agent-agnostic memory addresses context loss across sessions and tools — the gap between per-agent memory features and portable, user-owned memory.
