The FileMaker Conference 2025 in Hamburg is over - and it was a special milestone in many respects. Not only because this year's conference focused on many topics related to artificial intelligence, performance and modern workflows - but also because the personal exchange and the „family atmosphere“ of the FileMaker community once again came into its own. For me personally, it was an intensive, inspiring and all-round enriching time - right from the very first evening.

Articles on the topic of FileMaker - from basics and practical tips to business solutions such as gFM-Business.
Integration of MLX in FileMaker 2025: Local AI as the new standard
While MLX originally started as an experimental framework from Apple Research, a quiet but significant development has taken place in recent months: With the release of FileMaker 2025, Claris has firmly integrated MLX into the server as a native AI infrastructure for Apple Silicon. This means that anyone working with a Mac and relying on Apple Silicon can not only run MLX models locally, but also use them directly in FileMaker - with native functions, without any intermediate layers.

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