RAG Is Simpler Than You Think

If like me you run models locally, it's pretty easy to run your own RAG locally also using a Vector Database like Qdrant for persistence, and a middle-layer like Mem0 for realtime retrial and updates. I documented the set-up steps here: https://leadprompt.sh/a/739-Building-an-Infinite-Memory-Loca...

Building an (almost) fully self-hosted, sandboxed, agentic software factory

I've been meaning to write something about how I did it, and have been putting it off for a long time. I wrote all the tools myself - by that, I mean that everything was a web app running in my browser. My advice would be to first set up an automation for yt-dlp to pull the media, then use Whisper to build a transcription pipeline. Chunk the transcript based on desired result granularity, then store embeddings in local Qdrant. It helps to use an orchestrator to handle all of this - my current recommendation is Dagster (dagster.io).

Turbovec – Google's TurboQuant for vector search in Rust

Why not just use Qdrant? They've been integrating TurboQuant for months, works well.
