AlexeiAI Foundation Release v0.1

Alexei v0.1 — Foundation Release Notes

Overview

Alexei v0.1 is the first public release of a local, persona‑driven AI agent written in C++ and powered by llama.cpp.
This release establishes the core architecture required for future learning capabilities — including persistent memory, persona definition, modular components, and a stable inference pipeline.

Alexei runs entirely on your machine with no cloud dependencies.

What’s Included

Core Architecture

Modular C++ agent framework

Clean inference loop built on llama.cpp

Configurable sampling and prompt pipeline

HTTP interface for message/response handling

Persona System

persona/identity.txt defining Alexei’s character

Configurable persona parameters

Style and behavior scaffolding

Memory System

Structured memory format (facts, preferences, traits)

What’s Not Included Yet

This release intentionally focuses on the foundation.
The following features are planned but not implemented:

Automatic memory extraction

Adaptive learning from conversation

Persona evolution

Relevance scoring and memory pruning

Tool execution and autonomous behaviors

These will begin rolling out in v0.2 and beyond.

Why Release Now

This version provides:

a clean, stable base

a clear architecture
