Ollama meets Qdrant: A local memory for your AI on the Mac

Memory for local AI with Ollama and Qdrant

Local AI with memory - without cloud, without subscription, without detour

In a previous articles I explained how to configure Ollama on the Mac install. If you have already completed this step, you now have a powerful local language model - such as Mistral, LLaMA3 or another compatible model that can be addressed via REST API.

However, the model only "knows" what is in the current prompt on its own. It does not remember previous conversations. What is missing is a memory.

What to do if the WLAN regularly drops out under OS X Lion?

OS X Lion loses WLAN? Solution for a FRITZ!Box.I have been running my Wi-Fi network with a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN for about a year, which has worked perfectly under Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Since I recently switched to a new iMac with OS X Lion, the Wi-Fi has become extremely unstable. The iMac with the new Apple operating system lost the wireless network at irregular intervals and could no longer access the Internet. The Wi-Fi interruption was not noticeable from the outside - the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar remained at full deflection, but access to the Internet was no longer possible. A short-term remedy was to deactivate Wi-Fi and then reactivate it - until the next time the Wi-Fi connection was lost. Strangely enough, this phenomenon even extended to my iPad, which also lost the Wi-Fi connection at irregular intervals. How this problem can be solved permanently in conjunction with a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is described below.
