origin vs grafbase

origin: Origin provides a local memory and knowledge system for AI workflows, enabling agents to recall past context, capture decisions and lessons, and distill them into versioned wiki pages. It uses hybrid retrieval (vector + FTS + graph) and git versioning for auditable, refreshable context.; grafbase: Grafbase is a self-hosted, Rust-powered GraphQL Federation Gateway for high-scale, mission-critical applications. It unifies diverse data sources and microservices into a single, performant GraphQL API, offering enterprise-grade security and flexible deployment options.
