# ADR-002: RuvLLM Integration with Ruvector
**Status:** Proposed
**Date:** 2026-01-18
**Decision Makers:** Ruvector Architecture Team
**Technical Area:** LLM Serving Runtime / Vector Memory Integration
---
## Context and Problem Statement
RuvLLM is an edge-focused LLM serving runtime designed for portable, high-performance inference across heterogeneous hardware. Built with Rust, SIMD optimizations, and WASM support, RuvLLM aims to deliver sub-millisecond orchestration latency while enabling continuous self-improvement through the SONA (Self-Optimizing Neural Architecture) framework.
The integration with Ruvector provides RuvLLM with intelligent memory capabilities, transforming it from a static inference engine into a learning system that improves with every interaction.
### Current State
RuvLLM currently implements:
- **LFM2 Cortex**: Frozen reasoning engine (135M-2.6B parameters)
- **FastGRNN Router**: Intelligent model selection with sparse + low-rank matrices
- **Graph Attention Engine**: Multi-head attention with edge features
- **SONA Learning Loops**: Three-tier temporal learning (instant/hourly/weekly)
- **SIMD Inference**: Native AVX2/AVX512/SSE4.1 operations
- **Q4 Quantization**: 4-bit weight quantization for memory efficiency
### Key Challenges
1. **Memory Pressure**: Edge devices have limited RAM; KV cache and LoRA adapters compete for resources
2. **Cache Coherency**: Long context sessions require efficient KV cache management with quantization fallback
3. **Learning Without Forgetting**: SONA needs persistent pattern storage that survives restarts
4. **Audit and Debugging**: Production systems require semantic search over execution logs
5. **Cross-Session Learning**: Federated agents need to share learned patterns efficiently
---
## Decision Drivers
### Performance Requirements
- **Orchestration latency**: <1ms end-to-end (embedding + retrieval + routing)
- **KV cache lookup**: <100us for session state recovery
- **Pattern search**: <2ms for HNSW-indexed policy retrieval
- **Memory footprint**: Support 50MB base + variable cache tiers
### Scalability Requirements
- **Concurrent sessions**: 1000+ active sessions with KV cache
- **Pattern capacity**: 100K+ learned patterns in ReasoningBank
- **Witness logs**: Retention of 7+ days of audit data
- **Federated sync**: Efficient pattern transfer between edge nodes
### Portability Requirements
- **WASM support**: Full functionality in browser/edge environments
- **No native dependencies**: sql.js for SQLite, pure-Rust HNSW
- **Platform agnostic**: x86_64, ARM64, WASM32 targets
---
## Considered Options
### Option A: Separate Memory Systems
Maintain independent storage for each concern:
- Redis for session state
- PostgreSQL for audit logs
- Custom file format for learned patterns
**Pros:**
- Specialized tools for each concern
- Familiar operational patterns
**Cons:**
- Multiple systems to manage
- No unified semantic search
- Complex deployment on edge devices
- No cross-concern intelligence
### Option B: Ruvector as Unified Memory Layer
Use Ruvector's vector database with HNSW indexing, graph storage, and metadata capabilities as the single memory substrate for all RuvLLM concerns.
**Pros:**
- Single deployment artifact
- Unified vector search across all data types
- Graph relationships between sessions, patterns, and logs
- WASM-compatible for edge deployment
- Self-learning hooks enable continuous improvement
**Cons:**
- Ruvector must support all access patterns efficiently
- Custom encoding for some data types
- Learning curve for operators
### Option C: Tiered Memory with Ruvector Core
Ruvector handles hot/warm data; external cold storage for archives.
**Pros:**
- Best of both worlds
- Cost-effective long-term storage
**Cons:**
- Additional complexity for tiering logic
- Two systems to manage
---
## Decision Outcome
**Chosen Option: Option B - Ruvector as Unified Memory Layer**
Ruvector provides a cohesive memory substrate that aligns with RuvLLM's edge-first philosophy. The unified HNSW index enables semantic search across policies, sessions, and logs while the graph layer captures relationships between these entities.
### Rationale
1. **Single binary deployment**: Edge devices benefit from one runtime
2. **Semantic unification**: All data becomes searchable by meaning
3. **Graph intelligence**: Relationships between patterns and sessions drive routing
4. **WASM portability**: Both RuvLLM and Ruvector target WASM
5. **SONA alignment**: Three-tier learning maps naturally to Ruvector's architecture

## Technical Specifications
### Ruvector Integration Roles
Ruvector serves three distinct but interconnected roles in the RuvLLM architecture:
```
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| RUVECTOR INTEGRATION ARCHITECTURE |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| +-------------------+ +-------------------+ +--------------+ |
| | POLICY MEMORY | | SESSION STATE | | WITNESS LOG | |
| | STORE | | INDEX | | INDEX | |
| | | | | | | |
| | - Quantization | | - KV cache keys | | - Routing | |
| | thresholds | | - Adapter refs | | decisions | |
| | - Router weights | | - Cache locality | | - Quality | |
| | - EWC++ Fisher | | - Session graphs | | scores | |
| | - Pattern bank | | - Conversation | | - Latency | |

| +-------------+------------+----------+-----------+ |
| | | |
| v v |
| +-----------+------------+ +-------+--------+ |
| | HNSW INDEX LAYER | | GRAPH STORE | |
| | (Unified Search) | | (Relations) | |
| +------------------------+ +----------------+ |
| |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
```
#### Role A: Policy Memory Store
Stores learned thresholds and parameters that inform runtime decisions.
**Data Schema:**
```rust
/// Policy entry stored in Ruvector
struct PolicyEntry {
/// Unique identifier
id: Uuid,
/// Policy type: "quantization", "router", "ewc", "pattern"
policy_type: String,
/// Embedding vector for semantic search (768-D)
embedding: Vec<f32>,
/// Policy parameters as JSON
parameters: serde_json::Value,
/// Confidence score from learning
confidence: f32,
/// Fisher information (for EWC++ policies)
fisher_diagonal: Option<Vec<f32>>,
/// Creation timestamp
created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
/// Last accessed (for LRU eviction)
last_accessed: DateTime<Utc>,
/// Source: "instant_loop", "background_loop", "deep_loop", "federated"
source: String,
}
/// Quantization threshold policy
struct QuantizationPolicy {
/// Layer indices affected
layer_range: (usize, usize),
/// Precision: "fp16", "q8", "q4_k", "q4_0"
precision: String,
/// Activation threshold triggering this precision
activation_threshold: f32,
/// Memory budget constraint (bytes)
memory_budget: usize,
/// Learned quality-latency tradeoff
quality_weight: f32,
}
/// Router weight policy
struct RouterPolicy {
/// FastGRNN cell parameters
cell_weights: FastGRNNWeights,
/// Output head biases
head_biases: RouterHeadBiases,
/// EWC regularization strength
ewc_lambda: f32,
/// Training loss at checkpoint
training_loss: f32,
}
```
**Access Patterns:**
- **Write**: After background/deep learning loops complete
- **Read**: On every inference request (cached locally with TTL)
- **Search**: By policy type + semantic similarity to current context
#### Role B: Session State Index
Manages multi-turn conversation state including KV cache references and adapter selection.
**Data Schema:**
```rust
/// Session state entry
struct SessionState {
/// Session identifier
session_id: String,
/// User/tenant identifier
user_id: Option<String>,
/// Embedding of conversation context (768-D)
context_embedding: Vec<f32>,
/// Reference to KV cache location
kv_cache_ref: KvCacheReference,
/// Currently active LoRA adapter ID
active_adapter: Option<String>,
/// Conversation turn count
turn_count: u32,
/// Last activity timestamp
last_active: DateTime<Utc>,
/// Session metadata
metadata: HashMap<String, serde_json::Value>,
}
/// KV cache reference with tiered storage
struct KvCacheReference {
/// Cache storage tier: "hot", "warm", "cold"
tier: CacheTier,
/// Location identifier
location: CacheLocation,
/// Number of cached tokens
cached_tokens: usize,
/// Quantization level of cached KV pairs
quantization: CacheQuantization,
/// Cache creation timestamp
created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
}
/// Two-tier KV cache configuration
enum CacheQuantization {
/// High-precision tail (last N tokens) - FP16
HighPrecisionTail {
tail_length: usize,
precision: String,
},
/// Quantized store (older tokens) - Q4/Q8
QuantizedStore {
precision: String,
compression_ratio: f32,
},
/// Hybrid: tail in FP16, rest in Q4
Hybrid {
tail_length: usize,
tail_precision: String,
store_precision: String,
},
}
```
**Access Patterns:**
- **Write**: On session creation, after each turn, on adapter switch
- **Read**: On every request (session recovery)
- **Search**: By user_id, by context similarity, by adapter requirements
- **Expire**: Background task evicts stale sessions
#### Role C: Witness Log Index
Enables postmortem analysis and audit queries over execution history.
**Data Schema:**
```rust
/// Execution witness log entry
struct WitnessEntry {
/// Unique request identifier
request_id: Uuid,
/// Associated session ID
session_id: String,
/// Query embedding for semantic search (768-D)
query_embedding: Vec<f32>,
/// Routing decision made
routing_decision: RoutingDecision,
/// Model used for generation
model_used: ModelSize,
/// Quality score (0.0 - 1.0) from evaluation
quality_score: f32,
/// End-to-end latency breakdown
latency: LatencyBreakdown,
/// Context documents retrieved
context_doc_ids: Vec<Uuid>,
/// Response embedding for clustering
response_embedding: Vec<f32>,
/// Timestamp
timestamp: DateTime<Utc>,
/// Error details if failed
error: Option<ErrorInfo>,
}
/// Latency breakdown for profiling
struct LatencyBreakdown {
/// Embedding generation time
embedding_ms: f32,
/// HNSW retrieval time
retrieval_ms: f32,
/// Router decision time
routing_ms: f32,
/// Graph attention time
attention_ms: f32,
/// LLM generation time
generation_ms: f32,
/// Total end-to-end time
total_ms: f32,
}
/// Routing decision record
struct RoutingDecision {
/// Selected model
model: ModelSize,
/// Context size bucket
context_size: usize,
/// Temperature used
temperature: f32,
/// Top-p used
top_p: f32,
/// Router confidence
confidence: f32,
/// Model probability distribution
model_probs: [f32; 4],
}
```
**Access Patterns:**
- **Write**: Async after every request completion
- **Read**: On-demand for debugging, analytics dashboards
- **Search**: By time range, by quality threshold, by semantic similarity
- **Aggregate**: Quality trends, latency percentiles, model usage stats

### Paged Attention Mechanism (mistral.rs-inspired)
RuvLLM implements a paged attention system inspired by mistral.rs for efficient KV cache management:
```rust
/// Paged attention configuration
struct PagedAttentionConfig {
/// Page size in tokens
page_size: usize, // Default: 16 tokens
/// Maximum pages per sequence
max_pages: usize,
/// Page table size
page_table_capacity: usize,
/// Block allocator strategy
allocation_strategy: AllocationStrategy,
}
/// Two-tier KV cache implementation
struct TwoTierKvCache {
/// High-precision tail: most recent tokens in FP16
/// Critical for attention quality on recent context
high_precision_tail: PagedCache<f16>,
/// Quantized store: older tokens in Q4/Q8
/// Compressed for memory efficiency
quantized_store: PagedCache<QuantizedKv>,
/// Boundary position between tiers
tier_boundary: AtomicUsize,
/// Policy reference from Ruvector
quantization_policy: Arc<RwLock<QuantizationPolicy>>,
}
impl TwoTierKvCache {
/// Append new KV pairs, managing tier transitions
fn append(&mut self, keys: &[f16], values: &[f16]) {
// Add to high-precision tail
self.high_precision_tail.append(keys, values);
// Check if tail exceeds threshold
if self.high_precision_tail.len() > self.policy().tail_threshold {
// Migrate oldest tokens to quantized store
let to_migrate = self.high_precision_tail.pop_oldest(MIGRATION_BATCH);
let quantized = self.quantize_kv_pairs(&to_migrate);
self.quantized_store.append(&quantized);
}
}
/// Attention computation with tier-aware access
fn attend(&self, query: &[f16], mask: &AttentionMask) -> Vec<f16> {
// Compute attention over both tiers
let tail_attn = self.high_precision_tail.attend(query, mask);
let store_attn = self.quantized_store.attend_quantized(query, mask);
// Weighted combination based on position decay
combine_attention(tail_attn, store_attn, &self.position_weights())
}
}
```
---
### Unified Memory Pool Architecture
A single memory pool manages both KV cache and LoRA adapters to prevent fragmentation:
```rust
/// Unified memory pool for KV cache and LoRA adapters
struct UnifiedMemoryPool {
/// Total memory budget
total_budget: usize,
/// Allocations by type
allocations: DashMap<AllocationId, Allocation>,
/// Priority queue for eviction
eviction_queue: Mutex<BinaryHeap<EvictionCandidate>>,
/// Ruvector connection for persistence policies
ruvector: Arc<RuvectorMemory>,
}
/// Allocation types sharing the pool
enum AllocationType {
/// KV cache pages
KvCache {
session_id: String,
tier: CacheTier,
page_count: usize,
},
/// LoRA adapter weights
LoraAdapter {
adapter_id: String,
rank: usize,
layer_count: usize,
},
/// FastGRNN router weights
RouterWeights {
version: u64,
},
}
impl UnifiedMemoryPool {
/// Allocate memory, evicting if necessary
fn allocate(&self, request: AllocationRequest) -> Result<AllocationId> {
let required = request.size_bytes();
// Check available memory
while self.available() < required {
// Evict lowest priority allocation
let victim = self.eviction_queue.lock().pop()
.ok_or(Error::OutOfMemory)?;
// Persist to Ruvector before eviction
self.persist_to_ruvector(&victim)?;
self.free(victim.allocation_id);
}
// Allocate and track
let id = self.do_allocate(request)?;
self.update_eviction_priority(&id);
Ok(id)
}
/// Persist allocation to Ruvector for recovery
fn persist_to_ruvector(&self, alloc: &Allocation) -> Result<()> {
match &alloc.allocation_type {
AllocationType::KvCache { session_id, .. } => {
// Store KV cache reference for later recovery
self.ruvector.store_session_cache_ref(session_id, alloc)?;
}
AllocationType::LoraAdapter { adapter_id, .. } => {
// Store adapter checkpoint
self.ruvector.store_adapter_checkpoint(adapter_id, alloc)?;
}
_ => {}
}
Ok(())
}
}
```

### WASM Kernel Packs
Pluggable optimization kernels delivered as WASM modules:
```rust
/// WASM kernel pack interface
trait WasmKernelPack: Send + Sync {
/// Kernel identification
fn id(&self) -> &str;
fn version(&self) -> &str;
/// Capability declarations
fn capabilities(&self) -> KernelCapabilities;
/// Execute kernel
fn execute(&self, inputs: &KernelInputs) -> Result<KernelOutputs>;
}
/// Available kernel types
enum KernelType {
/// Attention computation kernel
Attention {
variant: AttentionVariant, // Standard, Flash, PagedFlash
precision: Precision, // FP16, Q8, Q4
},
/// Matrix multiplication kernel
MatMul {
variant: MatMulVariant, // Standard, Tiled, Strassen
precision: Precision,
},
/// Quantization kernel
Quantize {
from_precision: Precision,
to_precision: Precision,
method: QuantMethod, // RTN, GPTQ, AWQ
},
/// Embedding kernel
Embed {
method: EmbedMethod, // Lookup, Fused
},
}
/// Kernel pack registry with Ruvector-backed discovery
struct KernelRegistry {
/// Loaded kernels
kernels: DashMap<String, Box<dyn WasmKernelPack>>,
/// Ruvector for kernel metadata and selection history
ruvector: Arc<RuvectorMemory>,
/// Runtime selection based on hardware
selector: KernelSelector,
}
impl KernelRegistry {
/// Select optimal kernel for operation
fn select(&self, operation: &Operation) -> Result<&dyn WasmKernelPack> {
// Check Ruvector for learned preferences
let history = self.ruvector.search_kernel_performance(operation)?;
// Select based on historical performance + capabilities
let kernel_id = self.selector.select(operation, &history)?;
self.kernels.get(&kernel_id)
.map(|k| k.value().as_ref())
.ok_or(Error::KernelNotFound)
}
/// Record kernel performance for learning
fn record_performance(&self, kernel_id: &str, metrics: KernelMetrics) -> Result<()> {
self.ruvector.store_kernel_performance(kernel_id, metrics)
}
}
```

### Integration with SONA Learning Loops
Ruvector enables SONA's three-tier temporal learning:
```
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| SONA + RUVECTOR INTEGRATION |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| LOOP A: INSTANT (Per-Request, <1ms) |
| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+|
| | 1. Record trajectory to ring buffer (in-memory) ||

| | 3. MicroLoRA adjustment (rank 1-2, top-k params) ||
| | 4. Async write witness entry to Ruvector ||
| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+|
| |
| LOOP B: BACKGROUND (Hourly, 10 seconds) |
| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+|
| | 1. Query Ruvector for recent high-quality trajectories ||
| | 2. Train router on accumulated data ||
| | 3. Compute Fisher Information for EWC++ ||
| | 4. Update LoRA base matrices (rank 4-8) ||
| | 5. Store new policy entries in Ruvector ||
| | 6. Checkpoint router weights to Ruvector ||
| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+|
| |
| LOOP C: DEEP (Weekly, 10 minutes) |
| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+|
| | 1. Full consolidation: Query all patterns from Ruvector ||
| | 2. K-means++ clustering to extract pattern bank ||
| | 3. Memory compression: Prune redundant nodes ||
| | 4. Archive old witness logs to cold storage ||
| | 5. Cross-session knowledge transfer via graph traversal ||
| | 6. Store consolidated patterns back to Ruvector ||
| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+|
| |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
```

## Consequences
### Positive Consequences
1. **Unified semantic search**: All data types (policies, sessions, logs) searchable by meaning
2. **Portable deployment**: Single binary with Ruvector embedded works on edge devices
3. **Continuous improvement**: SONA loops have persistent storage for learning
4. **Debugging capability**: Semantic audit logs enable intelligent postmortem analysis
5. **Memory efficiency**: Unified pool prevents fragmentation; tiered KV cache reduces pressure
6. **Federated learning**: Ruvector facilitates pattern sharing between nodes
### Negative Consequences
1. **Ruvector dependency**: Core functionality tied to Ruvector's capabilities
2. **Storage overhead**: Vector embeddings add space requirements (~3KB per entry)
3. **Complexity**: Three integration roles require careful schema design
4. **Cold start**: Initial requests lack learned policies until training accumulates
### Mitigation Strategies
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Ruvector dependency | Design clean abstraction layer; fallback to simple LRU cache |
| Storage overhead | Aggressive compression for cold data; time-based expiration |
| Schema complexity | Strong typing with Rust structs; comprehensive validation |
| Cold start | Bundle sensible default policies; warm cache from federated network |
