Hugging Face releases funes: local, secret-aware memory for coding agents on Lance

Tools official 2 src. ~1 min

Announced Sep 17, funes indexes past agent session traces from Claude Code, Codex, pi, and Hermes into a local Lance columnar dataset and exposes recall/get tools with provenance and an ask command that answers from retrieved passages. Indexing is deterministic and local, with optional TruffleHog redaction and a fail-closed scan that holds back any push still containing a secret.

Why it matters

Cheap, auditable agent memory with explicit secret handling is a practical alternative to hosted memory services.

Importance: 2/5
