Wax – RAG in a single file (SQLite for AI memory)

The Take
Exports a one-file 'brain' and a tiny MemoryOrchestrator API (remember/recall) so you can ditch Docker and hosted vector DBs — token-budgeted, deterministic recall and kill-9-safe durability are concrete wins. The Metal-accelerated vector search plus SQLite FTS5 fallback shows real engineering heft, but it's clearly tuned for the Apple ecosystem and the author is still asking for retrieval/eval feedback.

Target Audience
iOS/macOS app developers and mobile/edge AI engineers building on-device agents or apps that need private, offline RAG-style memory
Post Description
Wax is a Swift-native, on-device memory layer for agents: store documents + embeddings + hybrid retrieval in a single crash-safe file.
Goal: replace the typical “RAG stack” with something you can ship inside an app (offline, deterministic token budgeting, reproducible retrieval).
Feedback welcome — especially on retrieval quality + eval methodology.
