+All systems tested on the same benchmark (LongMemEval-S, 500 questions) with the same embedding model (all-MiniLM-L6-v2, 384-dim). **Our 97.0% is end-to-end Judge accuracy** (retrieve → generate → LLM-judge against the reference answer) — the stricter metric. MemPalace, agentmemory, and SuperMemory publish Recall@5 (retrieval-only, whether the correct session appears in the top-5 retrieved). Direct comparison isn't apples-to-apples until they re-run end-to-end; see `benchmarks/longmemeval_runner.py` for our Judge harness and `benchmarks/longmemeval_recall.py` for the Recall@5 variant used to reproduce MemPalace's methodology.

 ## Key Features
 
-- **97.0% Recall@5** on LongMemEval-S benchmark (SOTA)
+- **97.0% end-to-end Judge accuracy** on LongMemEval-S benchmark (SOTA)
 - **Zero cloud dependencies** — runs entirely on local hardware
 - **Framework-agnostic** — HTTP API works with any agent framework
 - **Hybrid search** — semantic similarity + keyword overlap boosting
