## Architecture Overview
Mem0's memory system operates across two phases — **extraction** (writing) and **retrieval** (reading) — with an entity linking layer connecting them.

2. **Context Lookup** — Find related existing memories to avoid duplicates
3. **Distill Memories** — Single-pass LLM extraction produces ADD-only facts from input + context
4. **Deduplicate + Embed** — Hash-based deduplication, then vectorize new memories
5. **Entity Linking** — Identify entities (proper nouns, quoted text, compound noun phrases) and link them across memories
5. **Graph Memory (Entity Linking)**: Identify entities (proper nouns, quoted text, compound noun phrases) and link them across memories into a graph
Memories are distributed across three storage layers, each tuned for a specific retrieval pattern:
| Store | Contents | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| **Vector Database** | Memory text, embeddings, metadata (timestamps, hash, categories, attributed_to) | Primary fact storage + semantic retrieval |
| **Entity Store** | Entities + embeddings + linked memory IDs | Entity-based retrieval boost |
| **Graph / Entity Store** | Entities + embeddings + linked memory IDs | Graph connections across memories + entity-based retrieval boost |
| **SQL Database** | History log (ADD events) + rolling message window | Audit trail + extraction dedup context |
