Markdown Wiki Outperforms Mem0 and Zep in Recall Accuracy Benchmark by Verging Labs
A new benchmark from Verging Labs found that a simple Markdown wiki outperformed every AI agent memory product tested. The wiki, which uses plain text files and folder structures, scored higher on recall accuracy and retrieval speed than specialized tools like Mem0 and Zep. The benchmark simulated real-world agent tasks, including multi-turn conversations and long-term context retention. This suggests that complex memory systems may be over-engineered for many use cases.
