If you think most AI characters now are like "forgetful yet emotionally stable NPCs," then you probably understand what @EPHYRA_AI aims to do. EPHYRA isn't teaching AI how to express itself; it's providing it with a set of "long-term thinking" brains.

To summarize the core of this upgrade, EPHYRA has done three main things👇

• Memory is no longer one-time: conversations are organized into events, preferences, relationship progress, and stored in a vector database. The role will "bring up old issues" next time, and relationships are truly accumulated.

• Characters have an internal state: trust, emotions, motivations, and relationship stages run in the background. Responses are not just one line after another, but "what it wants to do now."

• Real-time voice link: listen, think, and speak simultaneously, with lower latency and a significantly enhanced sense of presence.

The main goal is for AI characters to remember you, to change, to hesitate, and even to adjust their attitude based on your words. It's not prompt-driven acting but state-driven.

More interesting are the practical scenarios:

• Collaborate with ChainAware for on-chain risk identification, where characters can give "context-aware" reminders during your operations.

• Work with AgentBay to turn characters' memories and growth into verifiable assets.

• Partner with RAX to optimize computing power, enabling characters to stay online long-term without crashing.

• Collaborate with Drama3 to explore IPFi, making characters not just written but "developed through interaction."

Currently, the real data looks very promising: over 6,000 beta users, more than 2,000 online simultaneously, average interaction time of 20 minutes, and a revisit rate of over 60%. Many say they'll try it, but then start coming back daily to see if it remembers them. This concept can be called AI → Life. It's not about AI being as smart as humans, but about the digital world beginning to have a sense of life for the first time.

If you're concerned not just with another chatting model but whether virtual life can truly grow, EPHYRA is worth experiencing.
