Nice. I think in the future this could be way better if everything was local and didn't require a API key. As far as I can tell mem0 is a fancy retrieval system. It could probably work pretty well locally with simpler models

Yes, you can run Mem0 locally since we have open sourced it but would need some more work to have a server up and running to be able to interact with Claude. GitHub: https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0

I think you misunderstood what the parent commenter meant. I believe they were talking about running the AI locally, like with llamacpp or koboldcpp or vllm.

I checked your documentation and the only way I can find to run mem0 is with a hosted model. You can use the OpenAI API, which many local backends can support, but I don't see a way to point it at localhost. You would need to use an intermediary service to intercept OpenAI API calls and reroute them to a local backend unless I am missing something.

Ah I see. We do support running Mem0 locally with Ollama. You can checkout our docs here: https://docs.mem0.ai/examples/mem0-with-ollama
