-# ReasoningBank vs Traditional Approach - Live Demo Results
-
-**Scenario**: Agent attempting to login to an admin panel with CSRF token validation and rate limiting
-
----
-
-## 🎯 The Challenge
-
-**Task**: "Login to admin panel with CSRF token validation and handle rate limiting"
-
-**Common Pitfalls**:
-1. Missing CSRF token → 403 Forbidden
-2. Invalid CSRF token → 403 Forbidden
-3. Too many rapid requests → 429 Too Many Requests (Rate Limited)
-

-
-### 3️⃣  **FASTER CONVERGENCE**
-```
-Time to Success:
-
-Traditional:     ∞ (never succeeds without manual intervention)
-
-ReasoningBank:
-Attempt 1: ✅ 180ms (with seeded knowledge)
-Attempt 2: ✅ 120ms (33% faster)
-Attempt 3: ✅  95ms (47% faster than first)
-```
-
-### 4️⃣  **REUSABLE ACROSS TASKS**
-```
-Task 1: Admin Login         → Creates memories about CSRF, auth
-Task 2: User Profile Update → Reuses CSRF strategy
-Task 3: API Key Generation  → Reuses auth + rate limiting
-Task 4: Data Export         → Reuses all 3 patterns
-
-Traditional: Each task starts from zero
-ReasoningBank: Knowledge compounds exponentially
-```

-## 💡 Real-World Impact
-
-### Scenario: 100 Similar Tasks
-
-**Traditional Approach**:
-- Attempts: 100 failures → manual debugging → fix → try again
-- Total time: ~24,500ms (245ms × 100)
-- Developer intervention: Required for each type of error
-- Success rate: Depends on manual fixes
-
-**ReasoningBank Approach**:
-- First 3 tasks: Learn the patterns (~400ms)
-- Remaining 97 tasks: Apply learned knowledge (~95ms each)
-- Total time: ~9,615ms (400ms + 95ms × 97)
-- Developer intervention: None (learns autonomously)
-- Success rate: Approaches 100% after initial learning
-
-**Result**: **60% time savings** + **zero manual intervention**

-```python
-score = α·similarity + β·recency + γ·reliability + δ·diversity
-
-Where:
-α = 0.65  # Semantic similarity weight
-β = 0.15  # Recency weight (exponential decay)
-γ = 0.20  # Reliability weight (confidence × usage)
-δ = 0.10  # Diversity penalty (MMR)

-  ✅ LLM-based distillation (quality: high)
-
-Without ANTHROPIC_API_KEY:
