## Description

Engram is a dynamic knowledge retrieval system and memory augmentation framework for large language models. It functions as a scalable memory lookup layer and sparse architecture component designed to fuse static model knowledge with dynamic external states to improve factuality and reduce hallucinations.

The system utilizes conditional memory retrieval and differentiable memory addressing to map input tokens to specific indices within a large-scale associative memory store. This allows the model to increase its total available parameters by storing weights in external lookup tables and activating only the relevant knowledge segments for a given input.

The framework covers model sparsity optimization and scalable augmentation, using key-value retrieval and dynamic parameter fusion to enhance performance on specialized tasks without requiring a full retraining of the network.
