Anchor Engine (Node.js)

Anchor Engine is a privacy-first context engine designed for effective human-facing interactions with large language models (LLMs). Utilizing the innovative STAR Algorithm (Semantic Temporal Associative Retrieval), this tool serves as a semantic memory and search API, ensuring sovereign knowledge management while prioritizing user data privacy.

Why Anchor Engine Exists

In the realm of extended chat sessions, challenges arise when attempting to maintain continuity across multiple interactions. When faced with the limitations of context windows, users often struggle to retain valuable chat history and vital information accrued over time. Anchor Engine was developed to overcome this challenge by:

• Allowing users to extract targeted context from previous chats.
• Enabling the continuation of interactions with the assistance of retained knowledge.
• Facilitating an efficient re-engagement model with LLMs, thus preserving the depth of prior exchanges.

This advanced engine can manage extensive datasets, digesting millions of tokens rapidly and delivering condensed, relevant contextual information back to users in scant minutes.

Features and Innovations

• PGlite-First Architecture: Employs a shared database system compatible across various platforms without native builds, enabling seamless operation on ARM64 Windows, x64 Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• Enhanced User Experience: Navigate queries chronologically or based on relevance, and access an intuitive user interface to filter results effectively.
• Data Compression and Contextual Recall: Quickly compress extensive datasets into focus-rich narratives while intelligently deduplicating concepts.

Core Components

• Database: The engine employs a PGlite (WASM-based PostgreSQL) database that operates without persistent coupling, making it lightweight and efficient.
• Performance Metrics:
  • Ingest 25M tokens in under 15 minutes.
  • Average search latency of under 200ms.
  • Capable of handling bulk ingestion 10-50x faster than traditional methods.

Agent Harness Integration

Compatible with various agent frameworks, Anchor Engine can be seamlessly integrated into existing workflows allowing users to leverage its powerful context retrieval in applications of their choice.

Security and Privacy

With a focus on local-first functionality, all data remains solely on the user's machine, eliminating dependency on cloud services or external storage. Anchor Engine champions open-source sovereignty while retaining robust security protocols.
