On April 6, Milla Jovovich, recognized for her performances in *Resident Evil* and *The Fifth Element*, revealed a partnership with Ben Sigman, the CEO of the cryptocurrency lending platform Libre, to create MemPalace, an open-source AI memory framework. Sigman claimed that MemPalace has secured a “perfect score on the standard benchmark,” surpassing all similar products currently available.<\/p>\n

Importantly, Jovovich is reportedly one of the primary designers and developers of MemPalace. She pointed to difficulties she faced in AI programming during a gaming project as her inspiration to work alongside Sigman. Nevertheless, there is skepticism regarding the genuineness of their collaboration, with many questioning whether Sigman is exploiting Jovovich’s celebrity status to advance his venture. Critics on social media have expressed doubts, implying that the initiative lacks legitimacy and calling for a more stringent method in AI development.<\/p>\n

Sigman has made assertive statements about MemPalace, including that it attained “100% recall on LongMemEval,” a metric designed to evaluate the long-term memory prowess of AI chat assistants. This assertion suggests that MemPalace avoids the selective memory problems typical of other large language models (LLMs). However, individuals testing the code from MemPalace’s GitHub repository have reported significantly lower accuracy rates, indicating that the system only delivered correct responses 17% of the time. Detractors contend that the cited performance metrics do not truly represent MemPalace’s abilities and highlight issues with the testing configuration used.<\/p>\n

Moreover, there are questions about Jovovich’s actual contributions to coding. Earlier versions of MemPalace included credit to a now-deleted user, hinting at possible inconsistencies in authorship. Observers have remarked that the GitHub repository lacks a clear record of contributions, leading to speculation about the legitimacy of Jovovich’s participation.<\/p>\n

In spite of the concerns surrounding both the venture and its leaders, Sigman has emphasized his long-term friendship with Jovovich, even mentioning her past endorsement of his cryptocurrency book in October 2025. This relationship strengthens the narrative of their collaboration, though it does not shed light on the specifics of their work on MemPalace.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a cryptocurrency called MemPalace, reportedly associated with Sigman and Jovovich, experienced a swift surge and decline in value soon after the AI project announcement. This has raised further apprehensions about the motivations behind the partnership, particularly concerning possible financial interests linked to the crypto aspect.<\/p>\n

As the speculation persists, Kotaku has contacted both Jovovich and Sigman for clarification regarding their roles in MemPalace and any potential associations with the MemPalace cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
