Most of today’s AI conversation is still centered around compute.
But a more fundamental question is emerging: what gives AI continuity—not just responses, but memory?
The Memory Genesis Competition 2026, launched by EverMind and Shanda Group, brings this question to the center—Silicon Valley’s first large-scale hackathon focused entirely on AI memory.
Over the past three months: 300+ developers registered, 200+ projects submitted.

On April 4, the final event will take place at the Computer History Museum.
🎤 Yuandong Tian, former Research Director at Meta FAIR, will deliver the keynote—focusing on the real challenges ahead as AI systems move beyond stateless models and begin reshaping how technology interacts with the world.
This is not just a demo day. It’s an early signal of a shift—from stateless models to persistent, evolving AI systems.
At xNova, we see AI memory as a critical emerging layer—and are excited to engage early with founders building in this space.
We are a network-driven venture ecosystem, rooted in a high-trust tech community, growing alongside builders, and continuously reinforcing that ecosystem. As the financial layer within this system, xNova VC exists to strengthen connectivity, align incentives, and back ideas that don’t just work—but endure.
Because the future of AI won’t be defined by how it responds in a moment—but by what it remembers, and how it evolves because of it.
