Chroma launches Foundation: unified memory for your agents

Launched live during the show (founder Jeff Huber hopped on within minutes of the announcement), Foundation is a research preview of a shared memory system between you and your agents — memory as infrastructure. It ingests sources natively from Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and Slack on day one, with Notion, GitHub and Google Drive connectors coming, and is built on ChromaDB plus the Context-1 agentic search model (a GPT-OSS 20B fine-tune running ~400 tokens/sec at 25x less cost than Opus). Each Foundation manages and improves its own system prompt from natural-language feedback. Part of Chroma Cloud starting at $30/mo.
