Jarvis AI Platform implemented semantic memory retrieval using pgvector and Ollama's nomic-embed-text model. The system converts user queries and stored memories into 768-dimensional embeddings, enabl…
A developer building a RAG application from scratch encountered two distinct failures that appeared identical externally: a chunking bug and a 3B model running out of capacity. The project, called Ken…
A developer canceled their $240/year ChatGPT subscription and built a private AI system running entirely on a 2018 laptop. Using Ollama, the nomic-embed-text model, and Qdrant vector database, they cr…
A developer built a private RAG system using AnythingLLM and Ollama that runs locally on any machine, allowing users to drop in PDFs, Word docs, and code files and ask questions without cloud dependen…
A developer built a high-performance RAG pipeline using Ollama, Python, and TypeScript that runs entirely locally, eliminating cloud API latency and data compliance issues. The architecture uses Ollam…
A developer built a Go proxy called Trooper that sits between AI agents and large language models, reducing token usage by 89% without modifying the agent itself. The proxy replaces full conversation …
A developer built an AI-powered log analysis platform for Spring Boot applications that uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with Ollama models to parse logs, detect exceptions, and explain root …
MonVisor 0.1.0, an AI-augmented tool for generating Prometheus, Alertmanager, and Grafana monitoring configurations, has been released. The free-tier CLI scans a network, fingerprints services, and us…
Second-brain-mcp is a self-maintaining personal knowledge database that uses MCP, DuckDB, and biological memory models to automatically link, compress, and index saved papers, notes, and figures. The …
A developer built a local RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) agent that reads markdown files and answers queries in plain English, running entirely on a personal laptop without cloud APIs. The syste…
A developer built a fully local Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system using Ollama and TypeScript, requiring no API keys or third-party calls. The 200-line command-line tool indexes `.md` and `.…
Ekorbia released v0.1.0, the first public build of a native macOS desktop client for local AI models that operates entirely offline without cloud services, API keys, or telemetry. The open-source appl…
This article details a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture built on AWS EC2 that uses n8n for workflow orchestration, PostgreSQL with pgvector for vector storage, and Ollama to run the G…
Security teams should avoid sending sensitive threat intelligence data to cloud-based AI APIs due to compliance and data control risks. It introduces "The Sovereign Hive," a local-first AI system that…
