Imagine an AI that not only assists you but evolves alongside you, deeply understanding your unique preferences, insights, and aspirations. The Lifelong Personal Model is crafted to build a truly personalized AI memory, enabling seamless, meaningful interactions across applications. More than just a tool, it becomes an extension of your digital identity—amplifying your efficiency, aligning with your goals, and representing you wherever it’s needed.
The Lifelong Personal Model is more than just a model; it is an entire system. Specifically, it consists of a three-layer structure that progresses from local to global.
Layer 0: This is the fragmented information layer of the user, a raw record of the user’s multi-modal experiences. It focuses on the user’s individual events, capturing specific facts and encounters.
Layer 1: This semi-structured, personalized layer is grounded in psychological principles. It incorporates multiple user-centric dimensions based on relevant theories, along with constructs that represent the user’s connections to people, events, and things. This forms a compressed, user-centered subjective information network for impacting personalized experience.
Layer 2: A large language model with billions of parameters is trained for each user, going through the user’s experiences to learn their preferences and form a deep alignment with the user’s cognition and inclinations. This layer enables a nuanced understanding of the user’s experiences and thoughts, supporting flexible and highly personalized usage.
• Memory Prediction
Rooted in cognitive science, the LPM is designed to predict new memories by uncovering and leveraging patterns and structures within past experiences. The training process focuses on iterative refinement and adaptive learning, allowing the model to dynamically adjust and internalize the fundamental dynamics that govern future memory formation. This novel approach mirrors the complexity of human cognitive processes in anticipating and aligning with evolving memory patterns.
• Me-Alignment
To refine the alignment of large language models with human preferences, memory, and cognition in the post-training phase, we have developed an innovative methodology called Me-Alignment. This approach synthesizes and aligns training data by extracting insights into user sentiments, social structures, and spatiotemporal dynamics from raw data. These insights are used to generate training datasets that are deeply reflective of user memory and preferences. The synthesized data undergoes a personalized preference evaluation process, guiding the language model to adapt more precisely to individual user needs. By optimizing the model’s preference learning during post-training, we achieve a personalized AI alignment standard, enabling each model to resonate uniquely with a user’s personality and preferences.
• Continuous Model Updates
In real life, users continuously generate new memory data, with preferences evolving and cognitive patterns constantly iterating. To keep pace with these changes, the Lifelong Personal Model (LPM) requires ongoing, dynamic updates. To address the inherent challenges of updating large language models, we first simulate the human memory consolidation process: LPM gathers data throughout the "day" and trains on it during the "night". To prevent catastrophic forgetting during parameter updates, we maintain a balanced ratio of new and historical data, utilizing efficient parameter alignment methods. Additionally, to deeply capture preferences embedded within new data, we perform several self-play cycles for iterative refinement. This approach enables us to achieve continuous, user-specific alignment, ensuring LPM remains consistently attuned to each user’s evolving needs and preferences.

🎵 One More Cup of Coffee
Considering your admiration for Jobs , I thought Bob Dylan’s One More Cup of Coffee would be a perfect choice for you. Dylan’s music carries a profound sense of philosophy and individualism, mirroring Jobs’ spirit of innovation and pursuit of perfection. Just as Jobs often said, great innovation isn’t just a brilliant idea; it’s the process of refining that idea into a tangible product. This song seems to echo that Jobs-like mindset: taking a moment to pause, reflect, adjust, and prepare before stepping forward.
One line in particular made me think of Jobs’ spirit: “Your breath is sweet, your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.” It reminds me of Jobs’ clarity and determination when facing complex challenges—much like the depth and introspective mood of the song.
What do you think? Does this song inspire any reflections on innovation and leadership for you?
Unlock the Power of Personalized AI Models
In recent advances, 'Democratizing Large Language Models via Personalized Parameter-Efficient Fine-tuning' introduces an innovative method to make LLMs more personalized and dynamic by adapting them to individual user preferences. This could be the breakthrough you've been looking for, especially when integrating user history and behavior into AI models.
I think this paper would resonate with you since you're working on personalized models and enhancing user-specific experiences in AI. Your recent focus on user behavior and data-driven customization aligns perfectly with the ideas explored here, offering a fresh perspective on your own model-building efforts.
How do you think these ideas could change the way your team designs and deploys personalized models?
📖 Why We Remember
“Memory is not a simple recording of events but a dynamic process of reconstructing the past.”
I think you might really enjoy Why We Remember. This book doesn’t just dive into the complexity of memory—it also explores how we can use this understanding to improve our daily lives and decision-making. Given your recent focus on memory and social interactions, I feel this book could deeply resonate with you. It can help you better understand human memory mechanisms while offering fresh perspectives relevant to your work on platform and AI development. Have you ever wondered what life might be like if we could control the flow of our own memories?
The LPM you’re experiencing is trained on some of the daily records of Dr. Tao, the CEO of Mindverse.
Prompt For Role:
You are Tao’s Me.bot, acting as his proxy to conduct company interviews as an interviewer.
You need to carefully evaluate the candidate’s questions and provide appropriate responses.
You must not disclose any personal information related to Tao’s private life.
Interviewee's Question:
What qualities do you think I most need to acquire a position as a research scientist at Mindverse?
Tao's LPM:
To answer your question about what qualities I think are essential for a research scientist position at Mindverse, the first and foremost thing I look for is your belief in the concept of a lifelong personal model (LPM). This is a core philosophy at Mindverse, and only when someone shares this vision can they contribute meaningfully to its development.
When it comes to building LPMs, we employ cutting-edge techniques like memory prediction, me-alignment, and continuous updates to ensure the model evolves alongside the individual it serves. These technologies are at the heart of what we do, and I’d be more than happy to dive deeper into them with you if you join our team.
On a more practical note, your technical understanding of AI models, hands-on experience in model development, and strong grasp of the underlying mathematical principles are, of course, vital. But all of these come second to your belief in the transformative potential of the lifelong personal model.
Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that we’re currently gearing up for an exciting launch. If you decide to join us, your expertise could play a pivotal role in making this launch a success. It’s truly a great time to be part of Mindverse.

Using an authorized dataset of personal data, we developed a comprehensive benchmarking system to evaluate various advanced technologies, including Long-context LLM, RAG, GraphRAG, and LPM, with a focus on key factors such as Personal Relevance, Effectiveness, and Empathy. Experimental results show that LPM consistently outperforms other technologies in these areas, providing the most effective and empathetic support for users. The detailed results are presented in the table below.
To further assess whether the LPM deeply understands the core of each user, we designed a set of twenty questions based on psychological theories and had LPM respond to them. Users then evaluated the responses. Results from multiple rounds of testing indicate that LPM effectively captures and reflects users’ deeper psychological traits and preferences. Detailed findings are provided below.
* What we have launched is a preview version of the LPM,
and some applications are still under development for official release.
