omega-agentdb

SIMD-optimized vector database with HNSW indexing for agent storage, skill management, and semantic search.

Overview

omega-agentdb is a high-performance, in-memory vector database optimized for AI agent systems. It provides four specialized subsystems: vector storage with HNSW approximate nearest neighbor search, reflexion episode tracking for agent learning, causal graph analysis for action-outcome relationships, and semantic skill management.

Built with SimSIMD for hardware-accelerated vector operations, AgentDB achieves 13-41x speedup over standard implementations on modern CPUs with AVX-512 support.

Features

• SIMD-Accelerated Vector Search: SimSIMD optimization for 13-41x faster cosine similarity
• HNSW Index: Hierarchical Navigable Small World graphs for sub-linear search
• Reflexion System: Store and analyze agent learning episodes
• Causal Graphs: Track cause-effect relationships with confidence scores
• Skill Management: Semantic search for learned skills with usage tracking
• High Performance: Optimized for 4096-dimensional embeddings (configurable)
• Async-First: Full Tokio integration for concurrent operations
• Type-Safe API: Strongly typed with comprehensive error handling

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
omega-agentdb = "0.1.0"

Quick Start

use omega_agentdb::{AgentDB, AgentDBConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create database with default config (4096 dimensions)
    let db = AgentDB::new(AgentDBConfig::default()).await?;

    // Store a vector with metadata
    let embedding: Vec<f32> = vec![0.1; 4096]; // 4096-dim vector
    let metadata = serde_json::json!({
        "type": "agent_state",
        "agent_id": "agent-001",
    });

    let vector_id = db.vector_store(embedding.clone(), metadata).await?;

    // Search for similar vectors
    let results = db.vector_search(&embedding, 5).await?;
    for result in results {
        println!("Found vector {} with similarity {:.3}",
            result.id, result.similarity);
    }

    Ok(())
}

Core Concepts

Vector Storage

AgentDB uses a two-layer approach:

1. HNSW Index: Approximate nearest neighbor search for fast retrieval
2. SimSIMD: Hardware-accelerated distance computations

The HNSW index provides O(log n) search complexity with high recall, while SimSIMD leverages AVX-512, AVX2, NEON, and other SIMD instruction sets for massive speedups.

Reflexion Episodes

Reflexion captures agent learning experiences:

pub struct ReflexionEpisode {
    pub id: Option<String>,
    pub session_id: String,
    pub task: String,
    pub input: serde_json::Value,
    pub output: serde_json::Value,
    pub reward: f64,
    pub success: bool,
    pub critique: String,
    pub latency_ms: u64,
    pub tokens: u64,
    pub timestamp: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub embedding: Option<Vec<f32>>,
}

Causal Edges

Model cause-effect relationships:

pub struct CausalEdge {
    pub cause: String,
    pub effect: String,
    pub uplift: f64,        // Effect size
    pub confidence: f64,    // Statistical confidence
    pub sample_size: u64,
    pub first_observed: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub last_observed: DateTime<Utc>,
}

Skills

Semantic skill storage with embeddings:

pub struct Skill {
    pub id: Option<String>,
    pub name: String,
    pub description: String,
    pub embedding: Vec<f32>,
    pub usage_count: u64,
    pub success_rate: f64,
    pub created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
}

Use Cases

1. Semantic Agent Memory

use omega_agentdb::{AgentDB, AgentDBConfig};

let db = AgentDB::new(AgentDBConfig {
    dimension: 1536, // OpenAI ada-002 dimensions
    hnsw_m: 32,
    hnsw_ef: 100,
    cache_size: 100_000,
}).await?;

// Store agent memories with embeddings
let memory_embedding = get_embedding("User prefers concise responses");
let id = db.vector_store(
    memory_embedding,
    serde_json::json!({
        "type": "preference",
        "user_id": "user-123",
        "content": "User prefers concise responses",
    })
).await?;

// Later, retrieve relevant memories
let query_embedding = get_embedding("How should I respond?");
let relevant = db.vector_search(&query_embedding, 3).await?;

2. Agent Learning with Reflexion

use omega_agentdb::{AgentDB, ReflexionEpisode};
use chrono::Utc;

let db = AgentDB::new(AgentDBConfig::default()).await?;

// Store a learning episode
let episode = ReflexionEpisode {
    id: None,
    session_id: "session-001".to_string(),
    task: "solve_math_problem".to_string(),
    input: serde_json::json!({"problem": "What is 2^10?"}),
    output: serde_json::json!({"answer": 1024}),
    reward: 1.0,
    success: true,
    critique: "Correctly computed power of 2".to_string(),
    latency_ms: 150,
    tokens: 25,
    timestamp: Utc::now(),
    embedding: None,
};

db.reflexion_store(episode).await?;

// Analyze learning progress
let stats = db.reflexion_analyze("solve_math").await?;
println!("Success rate: {:.1}%", stats.success_rate * 100.0);
println!("Avg reward: {:.2}", stats.avg_reward);

3. Causal Discovery

use omega_agentdb::{AgentDB, CausalEdge};
use chrono::Utc;

let db = AgentDB::new(AgentDBConfig::default()).await?;

// Record causal relationship
let edge = CausalEdge {
    cause: "use_caching".to_string(),
    effect: "reduced_latency".to_string(),
    uplift: 0.65, // 65% improvement
    confidence: 0.95,
    sample_size: 1000,
    first_observed: Utc::now(),
    last_observed: Utc::now(),
};

db.causal_add_edge(edge).await?;

// Query what causes improved latency
let causes = db.causal_query_causes("reduced_latency").await?;
for cause in causes {
    println!("Cause: {} (uplift: {:.1}%, confidence: {:.1}%)",
        cause.cause, cause.uplift * 100.0, cause.confidence * 100.0);
}

// Find causal paths
let paths = db.causal_find_path("use_caching", "user_satisfaction", 3).await?;

4. Skill Library

use omega_agentdb::{AgentDB, Skill};
use chrono::Utc;

let db = AgentDB::new(AgentDBConfig {
    dimension: 768, // bert-base dimensions
    ..Default::default()
}).await?;

// Add skills to library
let skill = Skill {
    id: None,
    name: "code_review".to_string(),
    description: "Review code for bugs, style, and best practices".to_string(),
    embedding: get_skill_embedding("code review"),
    usage_count: 0,
    success_rate: 0.0,
    created_at: Utc::now(),
};

let skill_id = db.skill_create(skill).await?;

// Find relevant skills by embedding
let query = get_skill_embedding("check code quality");
let skills = db.skill_search_by_embedding(&query, 5).await?;

for (skill, similarity) in skills {
    println!("{} (similarity: {:.2}, success: {:.1}%)",
        skill.name, similarity, skill.success_rate * 100.0);
}

// Update skill statistics after use
db.skill_update_stats(&skill_id, true).await?; // success = true

5. Multi-Session Agent Coordination

use omega_agentdb::{AgentDB, AgentDBConfig};

let db = AgentDB::new(AgentDBConfig::default()).await?;

// Multiple agents share knowledge through vector database
for agent_id in ["agent-1", "agent-2", "agent-3"] {
    let knowledge = get_agent_knowledge(agent_id);
    db.vector_store(
        knowledge,
        serde_json::json!({"agent_id": agent_id, "type": "knowledge"})
    ).await?;
}

// Any agent can query collective knowledge
let query = get_embedding("How to optimize neural networks?");
let collective_knowledge = db.vector_search(&query, 10).await?;

// Track which agent contributed most relevant knowledge
for result in collective_knowledge {
    println!("From {}: similarity {:.3}",
        result.metadata["agent_id"], result.similarity);
}

Examples

use std::time::Instant;

let db = AgentDB::new(AgentDBConfig {
    dimension: 128,
    hnsw_m: 16,      // Lower M = faster build, lower recall
    hnsw_ef: 100,    // Higher ef = better recall, slower search
    cache_size: 100_000,
}).await?;

// Insert 10,000 vectors
let start = Instant::now();
for i in 0..10_000 {
    let embedding: Vec<f32> = (0..128)
        .map(|j| ((i * j) as f32) / 1000.0)
        .collect();
    db.vector_store(embedding, serde_json::json!({"id": i})).await?;
}
println!("Inserted 10k vectors in {:?}", start.elapsed());

// Search benchmark
let query: Vec<f32> = vec![0.5; 128];
