You can use FastEmbed to run embedding models locally in Mem0. FastEmbed is an ONNX-based embedding library that runs efficiently on CPU without requiring a GPU or an external API key.
pip install fastembed
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your_api_key" # For LLM
config = { "embedder": { "provider": "fastembed", "config": { "model": "thenlper/gte-large" } } }
m = Memory.from_config(config) messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "How about thriller movies? They can be quite engaging."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I'm not a big fan of thriller movies but I love sci-fi movies."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Got it! I'll avoid thriller recommendations and suggest sci-fi movies in the future."} ] m.add(messages, user_id="john")
