Research direction
Start by reading src/llama-memory.h/cpp and the recurrent and hybrid memory files to map the llama_memory_i interface, memory hierarchy, and batch-processing flow. Document the architecture, data flow, extension guidance, and testing requirements in docs/memory_architecture.md, docs/memory_interface.md, and docs/memory_testing.md, then add relevant comments to llama-memory.h.

Description
Summary
Create comprehensive documentation for the memory subsystem architecture.
Current State
- Memory code exists but lacks architectural documentation
- Interface in
llama-memory.hhas minimal comments - No high-level overview of how memory types interact
Documentation Needs
-
Architecture Overview
llama_memory_ibase interface design- Memory type hierarchy: KV cache, Recurrent, Hybrid, Hybrid-iSWA
- When to use each memory type
-
Data Flow Documentation
- How
llama_memory_context_imanages batch processing - State transitions during
init_batch()->next()->apply() - Cross-memory synchronization in hybrid setups
- How
-
Developer Guide
- How to add a new memory type
- Implementing custom
llama_memory_isubclass - Testing requirements for new memory types
Deliverables
-
docs/memory_architecture.md- High-level design -
docs/memory_interface.md- API reference forllama_memory_i -
docs/memory_testing.md- Testing guide for memory implementations - Inline code comments in
llama-memory.h
