Why It Won — our reading

Using a vector database as memory rather than as search is the kind of reinterpretation that reads as deep engagement with the host's technology. It also demos better than any retrieval metric: an NPC whose behaviour visibly shifts because it remembers a place communicates instantly. Quoting local VRAM use and latency is the other smart move - shipping this inside a game comes down to exactly those two numbers.

This is our own analysis based on the official announcement and the project's own materials. It is not the organizer's stated reasoning.
