Zeta‑Lite is a WebAssembly‑based in‑browser SQL database that brings concurrent, snapshot‑isolated transactions and copy‑on‑write database branching to the client side. It is a compact 2.87 MB gzipped build of the Zeta engine, offering a full PostgreSQL‑compatible feature set—including joins, CTEs, window functions, JSONB, full‑text search, HNSW vector search, and graph queries—while maintaining high read/write throughput across major browsers. The engine’s log‑centric asynchronous MVCC core enables overlapping transactions on a single thread and unique branching capabilities rarely seen even in server‑side databases.
whyItMatters":"Zeta‑Lite’s concurrent, branchable design provides a lightweight, privacy‑preserving, and offline‑ready memory layer for in‑browser AI agents, enabling them to explore, test, and commit speculative changes efficiently."

The paper proposes typed federated artifacts—schema‑validated objects with per‑field privacy and dispute resolution—to enable tool‑routing knowledge sharing among frozen, heterogeneous LLM agents. By replacing flat text prompts with typed fields, the authors achieve near‑centralized routing performance on StableToolBench while reducing data size to 20 MB JSON per client. The study also highlights that a simple TF‑IDF classifier can outperform LLM routing on labeled benchmarks, indicating limitations in current evaluation methods.
