Here is a little run down of what we are doing.\n\nHere’s a clean bullet-point recap of everything we accomplished in this chat (chronological + grouped by theme so you can see the whole arc):\n\n---\n\n### ✅ Mem0 OSS Setup & Debugging Progress\n\n* **Confirmed you’re on Mem0 OSS** (not the OpenMemory UI build).\n* Found your **running container’s `/app/main.py`** and verified that’s where config lives.\n* Verified that `main.py` **does load environment variables** via `dotenv`.\n* Learned how to **mount a local `main.py`** into the container so you can override the repo’s version.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ Embedding Provider Swap (OpenAI → Ollama → Future)\n\n* Identified you want **3 modes**:\n\n  1. **3090 LAN Ollama** (fast local embeddings)\n  2. **Local-only VM models** (CPU fallback)\n  3. **OpenAI cloud** (accuracy / speed backup).\n* Added config placeholders in `main.py` so **embedder provider/model** can be set from `.env`.\n* Created `.env.3090` for LAN embeddings, `.env.openai` for OpenAI fallback.\n* Clarified that Mem0 **must be rebuilt/restarted** to swap envs — but no code edit needed once the environment-based config is set up.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ Ollama + Requirements\n\n* Found that the container failed with `ModuleNotFoundError: ollama`.\n* Solution: **add `ollama` to requirements.txt**.\n* Showed you two ways:\n\n  * (1) mount a custom requirements file into container\n  * (2) bake a **custom Dockerfile image** with `ollama` preinstalled.\n* You built your **own Docker image** (`mem0-api-server:latest`) with Ollama support — confirmed it boots and talks to 3090.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ LAN Connectivity\n\n* Confirmed your Windows 3090 box runs **Ollama server** at `10.0.0.3:11434`.\n* Logs showed Mem0 successfully hitting `http://10.0.0.3:11434/api/embeddings`.\n* Added `.env` config to point `OLLAMA_HOST=http://10.0.0.3:11434`.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ PyTorch / Hugging Face (for 1536-dim embeddings)\n\n* You ran into PyTorch install issues (Python 3.13 too new).\n* Researched: PyTorch officially supports **Python 3.9–3.13** but wheels are behind.\n* Found workaround: use index `--index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126` for CUDA 12.6 (works with your 3090).\n* You confirmed PyTorch install started working after using that URL.\n* Next step is to **host a 1536-dim Hugging Face embedding model** on Windows to perfectly match OpenAI’s `text-embedding-3-small`.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ Neo4j Dimension Error\n\n* Found error:\n\n  ```\n  Invalid input for 'vector.similarity.cosine()': The supplied vectors do not have the same number of dimensions.\n  ```\n* Root cause: Ollama model returned **different dimensionality** than OpenAI’s 1536.\n* Fix = use an embedding model with **1536 dims** (so vector store schema stays compatible).\n* Two approaches:\n\n  * Find / run a Hugging Face 1536-dim embedding model on your 3090.\n  * Or reset/rebuild vector store for different dims (but swapping back to OpenAI would break again).\n* Decided: You want **perfect 1536 match** so you can easily swap between providers.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ Testing & Verification\n\n* Added test command with `curl` to hit your API:\n\n  ```bash\n  curl -X POST http://localhost:7077/memories \\\n    -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n    -H \"Authorization: Bearer supersecrettoken123\" \\\n    -d '{\"user_id\":\"Brian\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"Test memory using Ollama\"}]}'\n  ```\n* Logs confirmed requests reach Ollama + Neo4j.\n\n---\n\n### 🔜 Next Steps (what’s left)\n\n* Get **1536-dim Hugging Face embedding model** running on your Windows 3090 (with PyTorch installed).\n* Expose it with an HTTP server (similar to Ollama) so Mem0 can hit it at `http://10.0.0.3:xxxx`.\n* Wire Mem0’s `.env.local` to point to that Hugging Face embedding server.\n* Then you’ll have the **three-mode switch** working cleanly.\n\n---\n\n👉 That’s the entire arc:\n\n* Found your config files → mounted overrides → added env-based embedder switching → installed Ollama in Docker image → connected to LAN Ollama → hit dimension mismatch → planned Hugging Face 1536 model → set up PyTorch on 3090.\n\n---\n\nDo you want me to **pick a specific Hugging Face embedding model that outputs exactly 1536 dims** and write the step-by-step for hosting it on your 3090 Windows box?"

This parameter is available across all embedding providers [4](#0-3) .\n\n### Examples by Provider\n\n**OpenAI:**\n```python\nconfig = {\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"openai\",\n        \"config\": {\n            \"model\": \"text-embedding-3-small\",\n            \"embedding_dims\": 1536\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n**Ollama (local):**\n```python\nconfig = {\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"ollama\", \n        \"config\": {\n            \"model\": \"nomic-embed-text\",\n            \"embedding_dims\": 512  # Default for nomic-embed-text\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\nThe Ollama implementation shows default dimensions being set automatically [5](#0-4) .\n\n**Together:**\n```python\nconfig = {\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"together\",\n        \"config\": {\n            \"model\": \"togethercomputer/m2-bert-80M-8k-retrieval\",\n            \"embedding_dims\": 768  # Required for Together models\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n## Vector Store Compatibility\n\nWhen changing embedding dimensions, ensure your vector store configuration matches [6](#0-5) :\n\n```python\nconfig = {\n    \"vector_store\": {\n        \"provider\": \"qdrant\",\n        \"config\": {\n            \"embedding_model_dims\": 1536  # Must match embedder dimensions\n        }\n    },\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"openai\", \n        \"config\": {\n            \"model\": \"text-embedding-3-small\",\n            \"embedding_dims\": 1536\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n## Notes\n\nThe `BaseEmbedderConfig` class handles dimension configuration across all providers [7](#0-6) . Different models have different default dimensions - for example, OpenAI's `text-embedding-3-small` defaults to 1536 dimensions, while Ollama's `nomic-embed-text` defaults to 512 dimensions. Always ensure your vector store's `embedding_model_dims` parameter matches your embedder's `embedding_dims` setting.\n\nWiki pages you might want to explore:\n- [Configuration (mem0ai/mem0)](/wiki/mem0ai/mem0#5)\n\n### Citations\n\n**File:** docs/components/embedders/config.mdx (L29-36)\n```text\nconfig = {\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"your_chosen_provider\",\n        \"config\": {\n            # Provider-specific settings go here\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n**File:** docs/components/embedders/config.mdx (L76-78)\n```text\n| `model` | Embedding model to use | All |\n| `api_key` | API key of the provider | All |\n| `embedding_dims` | Dimensions of the embedding model | All |\n```\n\n**File:** docs/components/embedders/overview.mdx (L17-28)\n```text\n<CardGroup cols={4}>\n  <Card title=\"OpenAI\" href=\"/components/embedders/models/openai\"></Card>\n  <Card title=\"Azure OpenAI\" href=\"/components/embedders/models/azure_openai\"></Card>\n  <Card title=\"Ollama\" href=\"/components/embedders/models/ollama\"></Card>\n  <Card title=\"Hugging Face\" href=\"/components/embedders/models/huggingface\"></Card>\n  <Card title=\"Google AI\" href=\"/components/embedders/models/google_AI\"></Card>\n  <Card title=\"Vertex AI\" href=\"/components/embedders/models/vertexai\"></Card>\n  <Card title=\"Together\" href=\"/components/embedders/models/together\"></Card>\n  <Card title=\"LM Studio\" href=\"/components/embedders/models/lmstudio\"></Card>\n  <Card title=\"Langchain\" href=\"/components/embedders/models/langchain\"></Card>\n  <Card title=\"AWS Bedrock\" href=\"/components/embedders/models/aws_bedrock\"></Card>\n</CardGroup>\n```\n\n**File:** mem0/configs/embeddings/base.py (L19-19)\n```python\n        embedding_dims: Optional[int] = None,\n```\n\n**File:** mem0/configs/embeddings/base.py (L51-52)\n```python\n        :param embedding_dims: The number of dimensions in the embedding, defaults to None\n        :type embedding_dims: Optional[int], optional\n```\n\n**File:** mem0/embeddings/ollama.py (L28-29)\n```python\n        self.config.model = self.config.model or \"nomic-embed-text\"\n        self.config.embedding_dims = self.config.embedding_dims or 512\n```\n\n**File:** docs/integrations/llama-index.mdx (L80-80)\n```text\n            \"embedding_model_dims\": 1536,  # Change this according to your local model's dimensions\n```"

      "content": "Perfect — you found the missing piece 🎯  \n\nYou don’t actually need to force everything to 1536. Mem0 is flexible — as long as **both your embedder config and vector store config agree** on the dimension size, it’ll work fine.\n\nHere’s the step-by-step way to wire it cleanly:\n\n---\n\n### 1. Update `main.py` (or your mounted config file)\n\nExample for **Ollama nomic-embed-text** (512-dim):\n\n```python\nconfig = {\n    \"vector_store\": {\n        \"provider\": \"qdrant\",   # or neo4j / postgres / whatever you use\n        \"config\": {\n            \"embedding_model_dims\": 512   # must match embedder\n        }\n    },\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"ollama\",\n        \"config\": {\n            \"model\": \"nomic-embed-text\",\n            \"embedding_dims\": 512\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\nExample for **OpenAI fallback** (1536-dim):\n\n```python\nconfig = {\n    \"vector_store\": {\n        \"provider\": \"qdrant\",\n        \"config\": {\n            \"embedding_model_dims\": 1536\n        }\n    },\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"openai\",\n        \"config\": {\n            \"model\": \"text-embedding-3-small\",\n            \"embedding_dims\": 1536\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### 2. Load from `.env` for flexibility\n\nInstead of editing code every time, pull these values from environment variables:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\nconfig = {\n    \"vector_store\": {\n        \"provider\": os.getenv(\"VECTOR_STORE\", \"qdrant\"),\n        \"config\": {\n            \"embedding_model_dims\": int(os.getenv(\"EMBEDDING_DIMS\", \"1536\"))\n        }\n    },\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": os.getenv(\"EMBED_PROVIDER\", \"openai\"),\n        \"config\": {\n            \"model\": os.getenv(\"EMBED_MODEL\", \"text-embedding-3-small\"),\n            \"embedding_dims\": int(os.getenv(\"EMBEDDING_DIMS\", \"1536\"))\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### 3. Create `.env` presets\n\n**.env.openai**\n```\nEMBED_PROVIDER=openai\nEMBED_MODEL=text-embedding-3-small\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n```\n\n**.env.ollama**\n```\nEMBED_PROVIDER=ollama\nEMBED_MODEL=nomic-embed-text\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=512\nOLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://10.0.0.3:11434\n```\n\n---\n\n### 4. Restart Mem0 with the chosen `.env`\n\n```bash\ndocker compose --env-file .env.ollama up -d --build\n```\n\nor\n\n```bash\ndocker compose --env-file .env.openai up -d --build\n```\n\n---\n\n👉 With this setup, you can flip between OpenAI / Ollama (or even HuggingFace later) just by swapping `.env` files. No schema mismatch errors anymore, because the **vector store always matches the embedder dims**.\n\n---\n\nDo you want me to give you a **ready-to-paste `main.py` config block** that pulls everything from env (so you never have to touch Python again), or would you rather keep the simple hard-coded configs and just edit when needed?"

      "content": "so it looks like you cant flip between them once you start it. if it starts at 1536, you cant change the variable and expect it to work with the new model's dimensions. Basically you are locked into it from when you start..."

      "role": "assistant",
      "content": "Yeah, that tracks — and it makes sense if you think about how vector stores work.  \n\nOnce you **start Mem0 and build a vector store**, it fixes the embedding dimensionality. Every vector you insert has to match that schema. If you later flip from 1536 → 512 (or vice versa), you’ll hit errors because the stored vectors and the new ones don’t line up.  \n\nSo practically:  \n\n- ✅ You *can* configure any dimension you want at startup.  \n- 🚫 You *cannot* hot-swap dimensions mid-run against the same database.  \n- 🔄 If you want to swap providers with different dims, you basically have two options:  \n\n---\n\n### Option A: Separate Vector Stores per Dim\n- Run **one vector DB instance per dimension** (e.g., `qdrant_512` and `qdrant_1536`).  \n- Then you can switch `.env` and point Mem0 at the right one without schema errors.  \n- This lets you keep OpenAI history (1536) and Ollama history (512) separate, but still switch.\n\n---\n\n### Option B: Re-Index on Change\n- If you really want to flip a single store between dims, you’d have to **wipe and rebuild** the index each time you swap.  \n- That means deleting stored vectors and re-embedding everything with the new model.  \n- This is slower, but keeps things in one DB.\n\n---\n\n### Option C: Standardize on One Dim\n- Pick a dimension that works across your main models (say 768 or 1536).  \n- Either force all models into that dim (some wrappers pad/truncate), or only use models that naturally output that dim.  \n- This way you can freely switch providers without schema conflicts.\n\n---\n\n👉 Easiest path for you: **Option A** (two stores, one for 512, one for 1536).  \nThat way you don’t need to constantly nuke/rebuild data — just swap envs and point at the right store.  \n\nWant me to show you how to wire up Mem0’s config so you can **spin up two parallel vector stores** and pick one with an env var (like `VECTOR_STORE_NAME` = `mem0_512` or `mem0_1536`)?"

However, mem0 cannot simultaneously search both of them. So it would need to do a search in the 512 and a search in the 1536, give both answers and a separate logic layer (something like lyra-cortex) would have to combine the two results into a cohesive relevant memory. \n\nThat sounds like a lot... lol"

But the catch is what you said — **Mem0 itself can’t merge results across dims.** It just asks one store/namespace at a time.  \n\nThat leaves you with two realities:  \n\n---\n\n### 🛠 Reality A: Keep It Simple\n- Pick *one* embedding family for now.  \n- Accept that if you want to switch, you’ll just rebuild/re-index or point to a different store.  \n- Less fancy, but **much less headache**.\n\n---\n\n### 🛠 Reality B: Build a “Cortex Combiner” Layer\n- Mem0 does two searches (one in 512, one in 1536).  \n- Cortex (or some middleware) merges results → re-scores by relevance → sends one final set back to Lyra.  \n- That’s essentially a **meta-retriever**.  \n- Cool idea, but adds complexity right away.  \n\n---\n\nHonestly, I’d recommend **Reality A** for now:  \n- Start with Ollama’s 512 if you care about local speed/cost.  \n- Or stick with OpenAI’s 1536 if you want max compatibility.  \n- Down the road, if you *really* want hybrid retrieval, Lyra-Cortex can evolve into that combiner layer — but you don’t need it working on day one.  \n\n---\n\n👉 Want me to sketch a “phase plan” for you — like **Phase 1 (single store), Phase 2 (multi-namespace), Phase 3 (Cortex combiner)** — so you can grow into it instead of biting it all off now?"

    },
    {
      "role": "assistant",
      "content": "That makes a lot of sense. Let’s do some napkin math:  \n\n- **30 memories → 11,370 tokens → $1.89**  \n- That’s about **379 tokens per memory**.  \n- OpenAI embedding pricing (as of now):  \n  - `text-embedding-3-small` = **$0.02 per 1M tokens**  \n  - `text-embedding-3-large` = **$0.13 per 1M tokens**  \n\nSo if you’re paying $1.89 for ~11k tokens, that’s actually not matching current OpenAI prices. By their rates, 11k tokens should only be **fractions of a cent** (like $0.0002).  \n\n👉 My guess: your “usage dashboard” is lumping in *model + embedding + other API calls* together, or it’s showing some **minimum billing increment**.  \n\n---\n\n### Practical takeaway\n- Embeddings are **super cheap** — even at scale (hundreds of thousands of memories).  \n- Cost won’t blow you up unless you’re embedding billions of tokens.  \n- If convenience > tinkering, **just stick with OpenAI** for now. It’s stable, always 1536-dim, and you avoid the dimension headache.  \n\n---\n\nWould you like me to help you set things so **OpenAI is the default embedder** and you only drop into Ollama if OpenAI is down (failover), instead of running dual stores? That way you get simplicity but keep your “local backup” option alive."

      "content": "Yep 👍 — that’s the way people normally handle changing embedding models. You don’t have to throw your raw data away, you just **re-embed and re-index it**.  \n\nHere’s the workflow:  \n\n---\n\n### 🔄 Re-Embedding Workflow\n\n1. **Export the raw memory data**  \n   - If you’re in Postgres:  \n     ```bash\n     docker exec -t postgres pg_dump -U mem0 mem0 > mem0_dump.sql\n     ```\n     Or if you only care about the text:  \n     ```sql\n     SELECT id, content FROM memories;\n     ```\n   - If in Neo4j:  \n     ```cypher\n     MATCH (m:Memory) RETURN m.id, m.text;\n     ```\n   - If in Qdrant:  \n     use the REST API to fetch all points (`/collections/memories/points`).\n\n2. **Clear or create a fresh namespace/collection**  \n   - You either drop the old embeddings table/collection, or create a new one like `memories_512`.\n\n3. **Run re-embedding**  \n   - Feed all the stored text back through the new embedding model.  \n   - This gives you fresh vectors in the correct dimension.\n\n4. **Re-insert**  \n   - Insert these new embeddings back into the vector store under the new namespace.\n\n---\n\n### ⚡ Tips\n- Keep a **backup of the raw text** at all times — that’s what really matters. The vectors are disposable.  \n- You can even build a small script that:  \n  - Queries all `content` from your `memories` table  \n  - Calls the embedding API for each  \n  - Writes results back into a fresh index.  \n\n---\n\n👉 So yes — switching is totally possible, it just means a **batch re-embedding job**.  \nDo you want me to sketch a little **Python script** that could dump all current Mem0 memories and re-embed them into a new collection with your chosen model? That way you’d have a ready-made tool whenever you decide to flip?"

Long-term: build a **“re-embed pipeline”** so you can easily re-index with a local model if you decide to cut the cord entirely.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want total control, the most future-proof option is to pick a **Hugging Face embedding model** you can serve with something like [text-embeddings-inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference) (optimized Rust server, super fast, runs on GPU/CPU). That way you’ve got OpenAI-style endpoints but fully local.  \n\n---\n\n👉 Want me to find you a good Hugging Face model that’s **1536-dim** (so you can drop it in without changing schema), and then show you how to serve it locally on your 3090? That’d solve both: full privacy + easy swap with OpenAI."

I poked around, and here are some promising leads + caveats + strategy suggestions.\n\n  \n---\n\n## 🔍 What I found so far\n\n**Promising models with 1536 dims:**\n\n- `diwank/dfe-base-en-1` — this is a Sentence-Transformers model that “maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1536 dimensional dense vector space.” citeturn0search2  \n- `Alibaba-NLP/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct` — listed as having “Embedding Dimension: 1536”. citeturn0search5  \n- `Qodo/Qodo-Embed-1-1.5B` — this is a code/embedding/neural model optimized for code retrieval, and its info page lists “Embedding Dimension: 1536”. citeturn0search14  \n\nSo yes — there *are* open-source or community greenlit models with 1536 dims (or claiming that).  \n\n---\n\n## ⚠️ Caveats & considerations\n\n- Just because a model claims 1536 dims doesn’t mean it’s production-ready (latency, memory, quantization support, inference speed).  \n- Some of these models might require “trust remote code” or custom wrappers to integrate into your embedding server.  \n- They may be designed for specific domains (code, multilingual, etc.) which may or may not suit your data.\n\n---\n\n## 🎯 Strategy: Try one of those as your local embedding model\n\nHere’s what you could try:\n\n1. **Pick one** of the promising models above (e.g. `diwank/dfe-base-en-1` or `g­te-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct`).\n2. Download / serve it locally (e.g. via `transformers` + `torch` + an API wrapper).\n3. Configure Mem0's embedder to use that model with `embedding_dims = 1536`.\n4. Run a small test: insert a few memories, search, see if everything works end-to-end.\n\nIf that works smoothly, great — you now have an open model that matches OpenAI’s dims.\n\nIf it’s slow or too heavy, you can fall back to 512-dim local or keep OpenAI.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can put together **step-by-step instructions** to deploy one of these (say `g­te-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct`) on your 3090 as a local embedding server.

Hardware fit\n- **Model size:** `gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct` is about ~3GB on disk and wants ~6–8GB RAM while running.  \n- **On CPU (Ryzen box):** It *can* run, but it’ll be **slow** (seconds per embedding). Fine for testing, not for production if you’re embedding lots of text.  \n- **On 3090 GPU:** Runs fast — that’s the sweet spot.  \n\n👉 My advice:  \n- Use your **3090 box as the embedding server**.  \n- If you need a CPU-only fallback for the Ryzen, we can swap in a smaller model (e.g. `all-MiniLM-L6-v2`, 384-dim, very lightweight).  \n\n---\n\n### ⚡ 2. Build the embedding server\nHere’s a simple FastAPI server that wraps the model:\n\n**`embed_server.py`**\n```python\nfrom fastapi import FastAPI\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\nfrom sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer\n\n# Load the model once at startup\nprint(\"Loading model... this may take a minute the first time.\")\nmodel = SentenceTransformer(\"Alibaba-NLP/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct\")\n\napp = FastAPI()\n\nclass EmbedRequest(BaseModel):\n    text: str\n\n@app.post(\"/embed\")\ndef embed(req: EmbedRequest):\n    vector = model.encode(req.text).tolist()\n    return {\"embedding\": vector, \"dim\": len(vector)}\n```\n\n---\n\n### ⚡ 3. Run the server\nFrom your PowerShell (in the same venv):\n\n```powershell\nuvicorn embed_server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 11435\n```\n\nThat will start the server on `http://<machine-ip>:11435/embed`  \n\nTest it locally:\n```powershell\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:11435/embed -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -d \"{\\\"text\\\":\\\"hello world\\\"}\"\n```\n\nExpected: JSON with `\"dim\": 1536` and an embedding vector.\n\n---\n\n### ⚡ 4. Hook into Mem0\nIn your `.env.local` (on the Mem0 container), set:\n\n```\nEMBED_PROVIDER=huggingface\nEMBED_MODEL=http://10.0.0.3:11435/embed\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n```\n\n*(assuming your 3090’s LAN IP is `10.0.0.3`)*\n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to also write the `main.py` config block for Mem0 so it knows to call this server, or are you comfortable with the `.env` approach you already have?"

From inside your `D:\\Development\\ai-servers\\` folder:  \n   ```powershell\n   python -m venv hfembed\n   ```\n\n   That creates `D:\\Development\\ai-servers\\hfembed\\`.\n\n2. Activate it (this switches your PowerShell to “use this environment”):  \n   ```powershell\n   .\\hfembed\\Scripts\\activate\n   ```\n\n   You’ll see your prompt change to:  \n   ```\n   (hfembed) PS D:\\Development\\ai-servers>\n   ```\n\n3.

Finally, you can check your DB has the new memory:\n   ```bash\n   docker exec -e PGPASSWORD=postgres -it postgres \\\n     psql -U postgres -d postgres -c \"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM memories;\"\n   ```\n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to also show you how to temporarily **turn on debug logging** in `embed_server.py`, so it prints the text and vector length every time Mem0 calls it? That makes it crystal clear Mem0 is hitting your server, not OpenAI."

      "content": "Got it 👍 “`Recv failure: Connection reset by peer`” almost always means Mem0 tried to call your embedding server, but the connection got dropped before a reply came back. Let’s debug step by step:  \n\n---\n\n### 🪜 1. Confirm your embed server is running\nOn your 3090 terminal where you launched `uvicorn` — do you see this?  \n```\nUvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:11435\n```\nIf not, the server isn’t running.  \n\n---\n\n### 🪜 2. Test embed server directly\nBefore Mem0, let’s check if the server works stand-alone. From the same machine where Mem0 is running (your Docker host), run:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://10.0.0.3:11435/embed \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"text\":\"hello world\"}'\n```\n\n- If it returns JSON with `\"dim\": 1536` → server is good.  \n- If it errors / hangs → check Windows firewall, or confirm that your LAN IP is really `10.0.0.3`.  \n\n(If you’re running Mem0 on the **same 3090 box**, you can test with `http://localhost:11435/embed` instead.)  \n\n---\n\n### 🪜 3. Check your `.env.3090`\nMake sure it matches the reachable endpoint:\n```\nEMBEDDER_PROVIDER=huggingface\nEMBEDDER_MODEL=http://10.0.0.3:11435/embed\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n```\n\nIf Mem0 and the embed server are on the same PC, you can simplify to:\n```\nEMBEDDER_MODEL=http://localhost:11435/embed\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 4. Restart Mem0 with fresh env\n```bash\ndocker compose --env-file .env.3090 -f docker-compose.mem0.yml up -d --build\n```\n\n---\n\n👉 Quick check: is your embed server running on the **same machine** as Mem0 (Docker), or are they on separate PCs (3090 Windows vs Linux host)? That’ll decide if we use `localhost` or the LAN IP."

      "content": "Ahhh, I see the problem 👀 — Mem0’s built-in **huggingface embedder** expects a *Hugging Face model name or local path* (like `\"Alibaba-NLP/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct\"`), not a REST API endpoint.  \n\nThat’s why you get:  \n```\nFileNotFoundError: Path http://10.0.0.3:11435/embed not found\n```\n\nBecause it’s literally trying to `SentenceTransformer(\"http://10.0.0.3:11435/embed\")` — which fails.  \n\n---\n\n### ✅ Two ways forward\n\n#### Option A (easy, no extra coding):  \nRun the model **inside the Mem0 container** directly using Hugging Face.  \n- In `.env.3090`, set:  \n  ```\n  EMBEDDER_PROVIDER=huggingface\n  EMBEDDER_MODEL=Alibaba-NLP/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct\n  EMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n  ```\n- Then Mem0 will pull the model via `sentence-transformers` inside Docker and run embeddings itself.  \n\n⚠️ Downside: you’d need enough GPU/CPU access in Docker to run the 1.5B model. If your Mem0 container isn’t GPU-enabled, it’ll fall back to CPU (slow).  \n\n---\n\n#### Option B (use your FastAPI server, like Ollama style):  \nTreat your **FastAPI embed server** as a *custom provider*. Mem0 doesn’t know how to talk to it yet. To do this:  \n\n1. In `main.py`, instead of `provider=huggingface`, set something like:  \n   ```python\n   \"embedder\": {\n       \"provider\": \"custom\",\n       \"config\": {\n           \"base_url\": \"http://10.0.0.3:11435/embed\",\n           \"embedding_dims\": 1536\n       }\n   }\n   ```\n2. Write a tiny custom embedder class in `mem0/embeddings/` (call it `custom.py`) that just `requests.post` to your API and returns the vector.  \n\nThat way, Mem0 uses your REST API server instead of trying to load the model itself.\n\n---\n\n### 🎯 My Recommendation for You\nSince you already have the FastAPI server running smoothly on your 3090, **Option B is the cleanest** — add a “custom embedder” that calls your HTTP endpoint. That avoids GPU passthrough headaches in Docker.  \n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to show you exactly how to write that **`custom.py` embedder class** so Mem0 can call your FastAPI server directly?"

So before testing Mem0 again, we need to decide **which route you’re taking**:  \n\n---\n\n## 🛠 Option A — Run the Hugging Face model *inside* Mem0\n- Mem0 downloads the model and uses it directly.  \n- To test:  \n  1. Edit `.env.3090`:  \n     ```\n     EMBEDDER_PROVIDER=huggingface\n     EMBEDDER_MODEL=Alibaba-NLP/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct\n     EMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n     ```\n  2. Rebuild/start Mem0:  \n     ```bash\n     docker compose --env-file .env.3090 -f docker-compose.mem0.yml up -d --build\n     ```\n  3. Send a memory with curl (like before).  \n  4. Watch the Mem0 logs — if it starts downloading a big HF model, you’re in this path.  \n\n⚠️ This will only run on CPU unless you configure GPU passthrough into the container.\n\n---\n\n## 🛠 Option B — Use your FastAPI embed server (my recommendation)\n- Mem0 doesn’t have a built-in “REST API embedder,” so you’ll need to add a simple **custom embedder**.  \n\n1. Make a new file inside Mem0:  \n   `mem0/embeddings/custom.py`  \n   ```python\n   import requests\n   from mem0.embeddings.base import BaseEmbedder\n\n   class CustomEmbedder(BaseEmbedder):\n       def __init__(self, config):\n           super().__init__(config)\n           self.base_url = config.get(\"base_url\")\n\n       def embed(self, text: str):\n           resp = requests.post(self.base_url, json={\"text\": text})\n           resp.raise_for_status()\n           data = resp.json()\n           return data[\"embedding\"]\n   ```\n\n2. In your `.env.3090`:  \n   ```\n   EMBEDDER_PROVIDER=custom\n   EMBEDDER_MODEL=http://10.0.0.3:11435/embed\n   EMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n   ```\n\n3. Restart Mem0, then test with curl again.  \n\n---\n\n## 🧪 How to Test\nNo matter which option you pick:  \n- Run the embed server (if Option B).  \n- Start Mem0 with `.env.3090`.  \n- Insert a test memory:  \n  ```bash\n  curl -X POST http://localhost:7077/memories \\\n    -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n    -H \"Authorization: Bearer supersecrettoken123\" \\\n    -d '{\"user_id\":\"Brian\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"Testing my local embedder\"}]}'\n  ```\n- Watch logs:  \n  - Option A → You’ll see HF model loading inside Docker.  \n  - Option B → You’ll see requests hitting your FastAPI embed server (`/embed` log entries).  \n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to help you implement **Option B (custom embedder)** so Mem0 just calls your FastAPI server? That way you can actually confirm requests are flowing into the server you already built."

      "content": "Yep — that error is actually good news 🙂 It tells us **Mem0 doesn’t recognize `custom` as a valid provider**. Right now it only allows the built-ins (openai, ollama, huggingface, together, etc.).  \n\nSo when you set:  \n```\nEMBEDDER_PROVIDER=custom\n```\n…it bombs out because `custom` isn’t in Mem0’s whitelist.  \n\n---\n\n### 🔧 Your Choices\n\n#### Option A (easier, less code)  \nDon’t invent a new provider — instead, “spoof” an existing one.  \n- Easiest hack: use the **Ollama provider** slot, since it already expects to hit a local REST API.  \n- In your `.env.3090`:  \n  ```\n  EMBEDDER_PROVIDER=ollama\n  OLLAMA_HOST=http://10.0.0.3:11435\n  EMBEDDER_MODEL=nomic-embed-text   # or leave as-is, it won’t matter\n  EMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n  ```\n- Then tweak your FastAPI embed server to respond to the same endpoint Ollama does:  \n  - Ollama embeddings expect POST → `/api/embeddings` with `{ \"model\": \"...\", \"prompt\": \"...\" }`.  \n  - You’d just translate `prompt` → your HF model → return `embedding`.  \n\nThat way Mem0 thinks it’s talking to Ollama, but it’s actually your server. No Mem0 code changes.\n\n---\n\n#### Option B (more proper, but requires editing Mem0 code)  \nAdd `custom` to Mem0’s embedder factory:  \n- Edit `mem0/configs/embeddings/base.py` → allow `\"custom\"` as a provider.  \n- Drop in your `custom.py` embedder.  \n- Rebuild the container.  \n\nThis is cleaner long-term, but means you’re forking Mem0 slightly.\n\n---\n\n### 🧪 For testing right now  \nI’d recommend Option A (Ollama spoof). It’s literally just:  \n\n1. Change `.env.3090` provider back to `ollama`.  \n2. Make your embed server accept requests in the Ollama shape.  \n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to show you the exact JSON format Ollama’s `/api/embeddings` endpoint uses, so you can patch your FastAPI server in 10 lines and have Mem0 work with it immediately?"

Adjust your `.env.3090`\n\nSet it up like Mem0 thinks it’s talking to Ollama:\n\n```\nEMBEDDER_PROVIDER=ollama\nOLLAMA_HOST=http://10.0.0.3:11435\nEMBEDDER_MODEL=nomic-embed-text\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 2. Update your FastAPI embed server\n\nRight now your server expects:\n\n```json\n{ \"text\": \"hello world\" }\n```\n\nBut Ollama’s `/api/embeddings` expects:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"model\": \"nomic-embed-text\",\n  \"prompt\": \"hello world\"\n}\n```\n\nSo tweak `embed_server.py` like this:\n\n```python\nfrom fastapi import FastAPI\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\nfrom sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer\n\napp = FastAPI()\nmodel = SentenceTransformer(\"Alibaba-NLP/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct\")\n\nclass OllamaEmbedRequest(BaseModel):\n    model: str\n    prompt: str\n\n@app.post(\"/api/embeddings\")\ndef embed(req: OllamaEmbedRequest):\n    vector = model.encode(req.prompt).tolist()\n    return {\"embedding\": vector}\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 3. Run your server again\n\n```powershell\ncd D:\\Development\\ai-servers\\\n.\\hfembed\\Scripts\\activate\npython -m uvicorn embed_server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 11435\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 4. Restart Mem0 with `.env.3090`\n\n```bash\ndocker compose --env-file .env.3090 -f docker-compose.mem0.yml up -d --build\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 5. Test end-to-end\n\nInsert a memory:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:7077/memories \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -H \"Authorization: Bearer supersecrettoken123\" \\\n  -d '{\"user_id\":\"Brian\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"Testing via local 1536 embedder\"}]}'\n```\n\nWatch your FastAPI console — you should see a POST hit `/api/embeddings`, and Mem0 will store a 1536-dim vector.\n\n---\n\n👉 Want me to also add some logging in the FastAPI server (print the prompt + vector length) so you’ll see proof in the console that Mem0 is calling it?"

Since you’re still seeing the same validation error and Mem0 isn’t even touching your FastAPI logs, that tells us this problem isn’t about requests failing — it’s **schema validation** happening before Mem0 ever tries to embed.  \n\n---\n\n### Why this is happening\n- Mem0 uses **Pydantic** to validate `embedder.provider`.  \n- Only a fixed set of providers are valid (`openai`, `ollama`, `huggingface`, `azure_openai`, etc.).  \n- When you set `provider=ollama`, Mem0 expects to load the **real Ollama embedder class** from `mem0/embeddings/ollama.py`.  \n- That class tries to spin up with the `ollama` Python client.  \n- Since we’re not actually running Ollama, but spoofing, the constructor never matches what your FastAPI server is doing.  \n\nThat’s why nothing ever reaches your 3090 server — Mem0 never gets that far.  \n\n---\n\n### ✅ Two realistic paths forward\n\n#### Option A: Run model directly inside Mem0 (Hugging Face mode)\nUse Mem0’s **native Hugging Face provider** instead of trying to proxy:  \n\n`.env.3090`:\n```\nEMBEDDER_PROVIDER=huggingface\nEMBEDDER_MODEL=Alibaba-NLP/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n```\n\nThis works out of the box (as long as you install `sentence-transformers` inside the container and allow GPU or accept CPU). Downside: big model download in Docker.\n\n---\n\n#### Option B: Actually add a new provider (`custom`)\n- Add `custom` to the `ProviderEnum` in `mem0/configs/embeddings/base.py`.  \n- Create `mem0/embeddings/custom.py` with your REST wrapper (calls your FastAPI server).  \n- Rebuild Docker.  \n- Now `EMBEDDER_PROVIDER=custom` works.  \n\nThis is the clean way if you want Mem0 → your FastAPI server.  \n\n---\n\n### 🚦 Which to test now?\n- If you want to **just test quickly**: go with **Option A** and point Mem0 at the Hugging Face model directly. It’ll at least confirm embeddings flow through.  \n- If you want Mem0 to **use your 3090 FastAPI server** (your original goal): we’ll need to do Option B (a tiny code patch in Mem0 so `custom` is recognized).  \n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to walk you through the code edit for **Option B (adding `custom` provider)** so Mem0 can actually hit your FastAPI server? That way we stop fighting the provider validation."

This suggests you might be trying to connect to a custom embedding endpoint.\n\n## Solutions\n\n### Option 1: Use a Supported Provider\nIf you're running a local embedding server, try using one of these supported providers:\n\n**For OpenAI-compatible endpoints:**\n```python\nconfig = {\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"openai\",\n        \"config\": {\n            \"model\": \"your-model-name\",\n            \"openai_base_url\": \"http://10.0.0.xxx:port/v1\",  # Your custom URL\n            \"api_key\": \"your-api-key-or-dummy\"\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n**For HuggingFace TEI endpoints:**\n```python\nconfig = {\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"huggingface\", \n        \"config\": {\n            \"huggingface_base_url\": \"http://10.0.0.xxx:port/v1\"  # Your custom URL\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n### Option 2: Use LangChain Provider\nThe LangChain provider offers the most flexibility for custom implementations: [2](#7-1) \n\n```python\nfrom langchain_community.embeddings import YourCustomEmbeddings\n\ncustom_embeddings = YourCustomEmbeddings(base_url=\"http://10.0.0.xxx:port\")\n\nconfig = {\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"langchain\",\n        \"config\": {\n            \"model\": custom_embeddings\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n## Notes\n\nThe `EmbedderFactory` class handles provider instantiation and doesn't include a \"custom\" provider mapping.

That error is because Mem0 validates providers **before anything runs**. `custom` isn’t supported, so it bombs.  \n\n---\n\n### ✅ What works instead\nYou have 3 supported paths to plug in your own embedding server:\n\n---\n\n#### **Option 1: Spoof OpenAI**\nIf your FastAPI server pretends to be OpenAI’s API (`/v1/embeddings` endpoint, OpenAI-style JSON), you can use:\n\n```env\nEMBEDDER_PROVIDER=openai\nEMBEDDER_MODEL=my-local-model\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\nOPENAI_API_KEY=dummy-key\nOPENAI_BASE_URL=http://10.0.0.3:11435/v1\n```\n\nThen in `embed_server.py`, accept:\n\n```json\nPOST /v1/embeddings\n{\n  \"model\": \"my-local-model\",\n  \"input\": \"hello world\"\n}\n```\n\n…and return:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"data\": [\n    {\n      \"embedding\": [ ...1536 floats... ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nMem0 will treat your FastAPI server like an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.\n\n---\n\n#### **Option 2: Spoof Hugging Face TEI**\nIf you rewrap your server to look like Hugging Face’s **Text Embeddings Inference (TEI)** API, you can set:\n\n```env\nEMBEDDER_PROVIDER=huggingface\nHUGGINGFACE_BASE_URL=http://10.0.0.3:11435\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n```\n\n…but this requires you to match TEI’s API format. (Harder than Option 1.)\n\n---\n\n#### **Option 3: Use LangChain provider**\nLangChain lets you drop in *any* custom embeddings class. You’d write a tiny adapter like:\n\n```python\nfrom langchain_community.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings\n\ncustom_embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings(\n    model=\"my-local-model\",\n    openai_api_key=\"dummy-key\",\n    openai_api_base=\"http://10.0.0.3:11435/v1\"\n)\n```\n\nThen configure Mem0 with:\n```env\nEMBEDDER_PROVIDER=langchain\nEMBEDDER_MODEL=my-local-model\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🎯 Recommendation for you\nSince you already have a FastAPI server, the **easiest test** is:  \n➡️ make it look like OpenAI’s `/v1/embeddings` endpoint, then set `EMBEDDER_PROVIDER=openai` with `OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://10.0.0.3:11435/v1`.\n\nThat way, you don’t patch Mem0 at all — it just thinks it’s talking to OpenAI.\n\n---\n\n👉 Want me to give you a drop-in replacement `embed_server.py` that speaks **OpenAI-style `/v1/embeddings`** so Mem0 can talk to it right now?"

      "content": "Ah — I see exactly what’s happening now 👀  \n\nHere’s the distinction:\n\n- When you run `provider=huggingface` in Mem0, it tries to load its built-in **HuggingFaceEmbedding class** (`mem0/embeddings/huggingface.py`).  \n- That class expects to import `sentence_transformers` and load a model **inside the Mem0 container**.  \n- But you don’t want Mem0 to load the model — you already have it running on your 3090 FastAPI server.  \n\nSo you’re hitting the `ModuleNotFoundError` again because Mem0 is trying to spin up Hugging Face itself, not call your API.  \n\n---\n\n### ✅ The Fix: Don’t use `provider=huggingface` directly\nWe want Mem0 to treat your server as a **remote Hugging Face TEI endpoint**, not as a local `sentence_transformers` model.  \n\nIn Mem0 OSS, that’s supported via the `huggingface_base_url` config. You don’t need `sentence_transformers` in the container at all.  \n\n---\n\n### 🪜 How to set it up\n\n1. In `.env.3090` set:\n\n```\nEMBEDDER_PROVIDER=huggingface\nEMBEDDER_MODEL=gptqwen1536      # just a placeholder name\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\nHUGGINGFACE_BASE_URL=http://10.0.0.3:11500\n```\n\n2. In `main.py`, update your embedder config to include `huggingface_base_url`:\n\n```python\n\"embedder\": {\n    \"provider\": EMBEDDER_PROVIDER,\n    \"config\": {\n        \"model\": EMBEDDER_MODEL,\n        \"embedding_dims\": int(os.environ.get(\"EMBEDDING_DIMS\", \"1536\")),\n        \"huggingface_base_url\": os.getenv(\"HUGGINGFACE_BASE_URL\"),\n        \"api_key\": OPENAI_API_KEY  # still works if provider=openai\n    },\n},\n```\n\n3. Rebuild Mem0:\n```bash\ndocker compose --env-file .env.3090 -f docker-compose.mem0.yml up -d --build\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧪 Why this works\n- Now Mem0 won’t try to load `SentenceTransformer` inside the container.  \n- Instead, it will POST to your FastAPI server at `/embed`.  \n- Your server responds in TEI format:  \n  ```json\n  { \"embeddings\": [[ ...1536 floats... ]] }\n  ```\n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to give you a **full embed_server.py** that exactly matches Hugging Face TEI’s expected request/response schema, so Mem0 won’t choke at all?"

We can make your FastAPI server speak OpenAI’s `/v1/embeddings` format.\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 How to do it\n\n1. **Update embed_server.py** to expose an OpenAI-style endpoint:\n\n```python\nfrom fastapi import FastAPI\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\nfrom sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer\n\napp = FastAPI()\nmodel = SentenceTransformer(\"Alibaba-NLP/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct\")\n\nclass OpenAIEmbedRequest(BaseModel):\n    model: str\n    input: str\n\n@app.post(\"/v1/embeddings\")\ndef embed(req: OpenAIEmbedRequest):\n    vector = model.encode(req.input).tolist()\n    return {\n        \"data\": [\n            {\n                \"embedding\": vector,\n                \"index\": 0,\n                \"object\": \"embedding\"\n            }\n        ],\n        \"model\": req.model,\n        \"object\": \"list\"\n    }\n```\n\n---\n\n2. **Change `.env.3090`**:\n\n```\nEMBEDDER_PROVIDER=openai\nEMBEDDER_MODEL=gptqwen1536\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\nOPENAI_API_KEY=dummy-key\nOPENAI_BASE_URL=http://10.0.0.3:11500/v1\n```\n\n---\n\n3. **Restart Mem0**:\n\n```bash\ndocker compose --env-file .env.3090 -f docker-compose.mem0.yml up -d --build\n```\n\n---\n\n4. **Test it manually**:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:11500/v1/embeddings \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"gptqwen1536\",\"input\":\"hello world\"}'\n```\n\nYou should see a JSON with `\"embedding\": [ ...1536 floats... ]`.\n\n---\n\n### 🎯 Why this works\n- Mem0’s `openai` embedder already knows how to talk to OpenAI endpoints.  \n- By mimicking `/v1/embeddings`, your server “pretends” to be OpenAI.  \n- No Mem0 code changes needed — just config + API shape match.  \n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to modify your FastAPI server to also **log every input Mem0 sends** (so you can see in real time when it’s working)?"

      "content": "Yes, Mem0 OSS does support calling remote servers via LAN with HuggingFace through the Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) service. [1](#8-0) \n\n## How Remote HuggingFace TEI Works\n\nThe HuggingFace embedding provider in Mem0 has two modes of operation. [2](#8-1)  When you specify a `huggingface_base_url`, it creates an OpenAI client that connects to your remote TEI endpoint instead of using local models.\n\nHere's the configuration for connecting to a remote HuggingFace TEI server on your LAN:\n\n```python\nconfig = {\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"huggingface\",\n        \"config\": {\n            \"huggingface_base_url\": \"http://10.0.0.xxx:3000/v1\"  # Your LAN server IP\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n## Implementation Details\n\nThe embedding generation logic switches based on whether a base URL is provided: [3](#8-2) \n\n- **With `huggingface_base_url`**: Uses OpenAI client to call the TEI API endpoint\n- **Without `huggingface_base_url`**: Uses local SentenceTransformer models\n\n## Configuration Parameters\n\nThe base embedder configuration supports the `huggingface_base_url` parameter specifically for this purpose. [4](#8-3)  This parameter is documented as \"URL to connect to Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) API\". [5](#8-4) \n\n## Notes\n\nThe TEI service provides faster and more efficient embeddings compared to local models, making it ideal for production deployments where you want to centralize embedding computation on a dedicated server within your network infrastructure.\n\nWiki pages you might want to explore:\n- [AI Model Integrations (mem0ai/mem0)](/wiki/mem0ai/mem0#4)\n\n### Citations\n\n**File:** docs/components/embedders/models/huggingface.mdx (L34-56)\n```text\n### Using Text Embeddings Inference (TEI)\n\nYou can also use Hugging Face's Text Embeddings Inference service for faster and more efficient embeddings:\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom mem0 import Memory\n\nos.environ[\"OPENAI_API_KEY\"] = \"your_api_key\" # For LLM\n\n# Using HuggingFace Text Embeddings Inference API\nconfig = {\n    \"embedder\": {\n        \"provider\": \"huggingface\",\n        \"config\": {\n            \"huggingface_base_url\": \"http://localhost:3000/v1\"\n        }\n    }\n}\n\nm = Memory.from_config(config)\nm.add(\"This text will be embedded using the TEI service.\", user_id=\"john\")\n```\n```\n\n**File:** docs/components/embedders/models/huggingface.mdx (L75-75)\n```text\n\n```\n\n**File:** mem0/embeddings/huggingface.py (L19-26)\n```python\n        if config.huggingface_base_url:\n            self.client = OpenAI(base_url=config.huggingface_base_url)\n        else:\n            self.config.model = self.config.model or \"multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-v1\"\n\n            self.model = SentenceTransformer(self.config.model, **self.config.model_kwargs)\n\n            self.config.embedding_dims = self.config.embedding_dims or self.model.get_sentence_embedding_dimension()\n```\n\n**File:** mem0/embeddings/huggingface.py (L38-41)\n```python\n        if self.config.huggingface_base_url:\n            return self.client.embeddings.create(input=text, model=\"tei\").data[0].embedding\n        else:\n            return self.model.encode(text, convert_to_numpy=True).tolist()\n```\n\n**File:** mem0/configs/embeddings/base.py (L26-26)\n```python\n        huggingface_base_url: Optional[str] = None,\n```"

Check from the Docker host\nSSH into the machine running Mem0 and test curl **from inside that machine**:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST \"http://10.0.0.3:11500/v1/embeddings\" \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"input\":\"ping test\",\"model\":\"tei\"}'\n```\n\n- If that works → the LAN path is correct.  \n- If it fails → the 3090 box’s firewall is blocking connections from outside.\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 Step 3. Check Windows Firewall\nOn your 3090 box, make sure port 11500 is open for inbound TCP:\n\n- Open Windows Security → Firewall & Network Protection → Advanced Settings.  \n- Add an inbound rule: allow TCP port 11500.  \n\n---\n\n👉 Quick question for you: is your Mem0 Docker running on the **same physical PC** as your 3090 embedding server (Windows), or is it running on a **different machine** (like your Proxmox/Ryzen box)? That’ll tell me whether you should be using `localhost` or the LAN IP in your env file."

Let’s check that.  \n\n---\n\n### 🪜 1. Confirm `.env.3090` really loads\nInside Lyra-Core:\n\n```bash\ndocker compose --env-file .env.3090 -f docker-compose.mem0.yml config | grep EMBED\n```\n\nYou should see:\n```\nEMBEDDER_PROVIDER=huggingface\nHUGGINGFACE_BASE_URL=http://10.0.0.3:11500/v1\nEMBEDDING_DIMS=1536\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 2.

Check Mem0 logs for provider\nRun:\n```bash\ndocker logs mem0-api | grep embedder\n```\n(or just read the startup log) — Mem0 prints the provider it’s using. It should say `\"huggingface\"` and reference `http://10.0.0.3:11500/v1`.\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 4. Debug with a smaller test\nTry calling Mem0’s `/health` (if exposed) or push a tiny memory:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:7077/memories \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -H \"Authorization: Bearer supersecrettoken123\" \\\n  -d '{\"user_id\":\"test\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"ping\"}]}'\n```\n\nIf that still errors, we’ll know Mem0 isn’t routing to the embedder config.\n\n---\n\n👉 Want me to show you exactly how to edit `main.py` so it *always prints out* which embedder provider and URL it’s going to use on startup?

Instead, it’s likely still trying to spin up the local `sentence_transformers` class because of how its HuggingFace embedder code is written.\n\n---\n\n### 🕵️ Why?\nLooking at Mem0’s `huggingface.py`:\n\n```python\nif config.huggingface_base_url:\n    self.client = OpenAI(base_url=config.huggingface_base_url)\nelse:\n    self.model = SentenceTransformer(...)\n```\n\nSo Mem0 will only call your remote server if the config dict it receives actually has `huggingface_base_url`.\n\nBut your `main.py` block currently looks like this (based on what you shared earlier):\n\n```python\n\"embedder\": {\n    \"provider\": EMBEDDER_PROVIDER,\n    \"config\": {\n        \"model\": EMBEDDER_MODEL,\n        \"api_key\": OPENAI_API_KEY,\n        \"ollama_base_url\": OLLAMA_HOST\n    },\n},\n```\n\nNotice: there’s no `huggingface_base_url` line here.  \nSo even though your env has it, it’s never being passed down to the embedder config.

      "content": "Ahh, thanks for pasting — so you *do* have `huggingface_base_url` in `main.py`.  \nThat means the code path should be correct… but Mem0 still isn’t hitting your server. Let’s tighten the debugging loop.  \n\n---\n\n### 🪜 Step 1. Confirm env is visible inside the container\nRun:\n\n```bash\ndocker exec -it mem0-api env | grep HUGGINGFACE\n```\n\nYou should see:\n\n```\nHUGGINGFACE_BASE_URL=http://10.0.0.3:11500/v1\n```\n\nIf it doesn’t show up → Compose isn’t passing it in (we’d need to recheck `docker-compose.mem0.yml` + `.env.3090`).  \nIf it does show up → then Mem0 *is* receiving the variable.\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 Step 2. Add debug log in `main.py`\nRight after you build `DEFAULT_CONFIG`, add:\n\n```python\nprint(\">>> Embedder config:\", DEFAULT_CONFIG[\"embedder\"])\n```\n\nThat way, when Mem0 boots, the logs will show *exactly* what’s being passed to the embedder factory.  \n\n---\n\n### 🪜 Step 3. Rebuild/restart and watch logs\n```bash\ndocker compose --env-file .env.3090 -f docker-compose.mem0.yml up -d --build\ndocker logs -f mem0-api\n```\n\nCheck what it prints — you want to see:\n\n```python\n>>> Embedder config: {\n    'provider': 'huggingface',\n    'config': {\n        'model': 'whatever',\n        'embedding_dims': 1536,\n        'huggingface_base_url': 'http://10.0.0.3:11500/v1',\n        'api_key': 'xxx'\n    }\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🪜 Step 4. If URL is there but still fails\nIf the log shows the URL correctly but you still get `connection reset by peer`, then the issue is in Mem0’s HuggingFace embedder:  \n\n```python\nif config.huggingface_base_url:\n    self.client = OpenAI(base_url=config.huggingface_base_url)\n```\n\nIt creates an **OpenAI client** pointed at `http://.../v1`.  \nThat client expects OpenAI’s schema (with `/embeddings`, `data: [...]`, etc.) — which we already coded your FastAPI server to match.  \n\nSo if it’s still erroring → the request is leaving Mem0 but dying mid-socket handshake. That’s often:  \n- Firewall between **Docker container → Windows host** (not host → host).  \n- Or Mem0 is trying IPv6 vs IPv4 (sometimes `0.0.0.0` in uvicorn doesn’t bind the same way).  \n\n---\n\n👉 Can you run that `docker exec -it mem0-api env | grep HUGGINGFACE` and paste what it shows? That’ll confirm if Mem0 is even seeing the URL before we chase deeper network gremlins."

Edit your `main.py` with that fix.  \n2. Rebuild/restart:\n   ```bash\n   docker compose --env-file .env.3090 -f docker-compose.mem0.yml up -d --build\n   docker logs -f mem0-api\n   ```\n3. You should see a line like:\n   ```\n   >>> Embedder config: {'provider': 'huggingface', 'config': {'model': '...', 'embedding_dims': 1536, 'huggingface_base_url': 'http://10.0.0.3:11500/v1', 'api_key': '...'}}\n   ```\n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to also show you how to make the HuggingFace embedder in Mem0 **print out when it chooses `huggingface_base_url` mode** vs local `sentence_transformers` mode? That way you’ll know exactly which branch it’s taking."

That’ll get your Mem0 booting and calling your FastAPI TEI server. Once it’s stable, you can do Option B to clean up the import.\n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to give you the exact **Dockerfile snippet** to bake `sentence-transformers` into your custom image, so you don’t have to reinstall it manually every rebuild?"

Watch your FastAPI server logs\nOn the Windows 3090 console running `uvicorn`, you should see something like:\n\n```\n➡️ Got text: Testing my 3090 HuggingFace TEI embedder | Vector length: 1536\n```\n\nThat’s proof Mem0 → LAN → TEI server → embedding returned successfully.\n\n---\n\n👉 When you run that curl, do you want me to also give you a one-liner to **tail the FastAPI logs into a file** on your D:\\ drive so you can capture every embedding request Mem0 makes for later audit?"

      "content": "That’s a 🔑 next step — now that both backends are working, you want to know *are the local embeddings “good enough” compared to OpenAI’s?*  \n\nHere are a few practical ways to test **embedding quality**:  \n\n---\n\n## 🪜 1. Sanity check with cosine similarity\nTake a few example texts and compare how the embeddings “cluster” under each model.  \n\n### Example Python script:\n```python\nimport openai\nimport requests\nimport numpy as np\n\n# Replace with your keys/urls\nOPENAI_KEY = \"sk-xxxx\"\nLOCAL_URL = \"http://10.0.0.3:11500/v1/embeddings\"\n\ntexts = [\n    \"The cat sat on the mat.\",\n    \"A dog was barking loudly.\",\n    \"SpaceX launched a rocket into orbit.\",\n    \"Elon Musk founded SpaceX.\"\n]\n\ndef cosine(a, b):\n    return np.dot(a, b) / (np.linalg.norm(a) * np.linalg.norm(b))\n\n# Get embeddings from OpenAI\nopenai.api_key = OPENAI_KEY\nopenai_embeddings = [\n    openai.Embedding.create(model=\"text-embedding-3-small\", input=t)[\"data\"][0][\"embedding\"]\n    for t in texts\n]\n\n# Get embeddings from local server\nlocal_embeddings = []\nfor t in texts:\n    r = requests.post(LOCAL_URL, json={\"input\": t, \"model\": \"tei\"})\n    local_embeddings.append(r.json()[\"data\"][0][\"embedding\"])\n\n# Compare similarities\nprint(\"OpenAI similarities:\")\nfor i in range(len(texts)):\n    for j in range(i+1, len(texts)):\n        print(f\"{texts[i]} <> {texts[j]} = {cosine(openai_embeddings[i], openai_embeddings[j]):.3f}\")\n\nprint(\"\\nLocal model similarities:\")\nfor i in range(len(texts)):\n    for j in range(i+1, len(texts)):\n        print(f\"{texts[i]} <> {texts[j]} = {cosine(local_embeddings[i], local_embeddings[j]):.3f}\")\n```\n\n👉 This will show you if the local model produces a *similar “map” of relationships* between texts as OpenAI’s.  \n\n---\n\n## 🪜 2. Retrieval test with Mem0 itself\n- Add the same set of test memories under `.env.3090` (local).  \n- Ask Mem0 questions like “Who founded SpaceX?” or “Which one is about animals?”  \n- Swap to `.env.openai` and repeat.  \n\nCompare if both return the same “closest memory.”  \n\n---\n\n## 🪜 3. Benchmark with a small dataset\nYou can also grab a public dataset (e.g. [STS-B semantic similarity](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/sts-benchmark)) and run both models over it. Compute Pearson/Spearman correlation with human-judged similarity scores.  \n- OpenAI `text-embedding-3-small` will likely score higher (it’s heavily optimized).  \n- Local HuggingFace models may be “good enough” for recall but fuzzier on fine semantic differences.  \n\n---\n\n### TL;DR\n- Use **cosine similarity comparisons** for quick gut-check.  \n- Use **retrieval tasks in Mem0** for practical testing (real usage).  \n- If you want deeper proof, run a **benchmark dataset**.  \n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to build you a **ready-to-run Python test harness** that fetches embeddings from both providers and dumps a similarity matrix side by side, so you can immediately see how close the local model is to OpenAI?"

      "content": "Yes — I’d recommend seeding Lyra’s **initial memory base with OpenAI** 👌  \n\nHere’s why:  \n\n### ✅ Benefits of OpenAI for seeding\n- **Higher precision**: OpenAI’s embeddings will separate concepts more cleanly, so her foundation memory graph won’t be “fuzzy.”  \n- **Stable format**: You’ll know the vectors are consistent + 1536 dims, no weird quirks.  \n- **One-time cost**: If you seed ~30–50k tokens, you’re talking ~$1–2 total. That’s nothing compared to the reliability you gain.  \n- **Future-proof**: If you later swap to local embeddings, you can always re-embed. But you don’t want her **initial core memory** to be muddy.  \n\n### ⚖️ Strategy I’d use\n- **Step 1**: Seed with OpenAI (clean, sharp base).  \n- **Step 2**: As you run daily sessions, let the local HuggingFace embedder handle incremental memories (cheap/free).  \n- **Step 3**: If you ever want to “purify” or upgrade the database, you can re-run `re-embed` over everything with OpenAI again.  \n\n---\n\n👉 So yeah: **seed with OpenAI, maintain with local**. That way Lyra starts out with the clearest possible “mental map,” and you only pay a dollar for it.  \n\nDo you want me to sketch out the exact **re-embedding workflow** you’d use later if you decide to re-run all memories through OpenAI again?"

Direct Postgres Query (fastest/raw)  \nAll memories are stored in Postgres (with pgvector). You can run:  \n\n```bash\ndocker exec -e PGPASSWORD=mem0pass -it mem0-postgres \\\n  psql -U mem0 -d mem0 -c \"SELECT id, user_id, content, created_at FROM memories LIMIT 50;\"\n```\n\n- Replace `LIMIT 50;` with a bigger number or remove it to dump all.  \n- This shows raw rows: IDs, text content, and timestamps.  \n\n---\n\n### 2. API Call (cleaner, through Mem0)  \nMem0 also has a `/memories/search` endpoint — you can trick it into returning *everything* by passing a blank query:  \n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:7077/memories/search \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -H \"Authorization: Bearer supersecrettoken123\" \\\n  -d '{\"user_id\":\"Brian\",\"query\":\"\"}'\n```\n\nThat should return all memories tied to `user_id=\"Brian\"`.  \nYou can also paginate with `limit` and `offset` if there’s a lot.  \n\n---\n\n### 3. Dumping to a File  \nIf you want to keep a full export:  \n\n```bash\ndocker exec -e PGPASSWORD=mem0pass -it mem0-postgres \\\n  psql -U mem0 -d mem0 -c \"COPY (SELECT id, user_id, content, created_at FROM memories) TO STDOUT WITH CSV HEADER;\" > all_memories.csv\n```\n\nThis gives you a **CSV dump** you can open in Excel/Trilium/etc.  \n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to make you a **ready-to-paste export command** that grabs *all memories* into a CSV every time, so you can archive Lyra’s memory as she grows?"

You searched with the wrong user_id (case-sensitive — e.g. `brian` ≠ `Brian`).  \n2. You haven’t actually stored any memories under that ID yet.  \n3. You stored them under another name (like `default`, `system`, etc.).  \n\n---\n\n### 🔎 How to check which user_ids exist\nYou can peek directly into Postgres to see what’s there:\n\n```bash\ndocker exec -e PGPASSWORD=mem0pass -it mem0-postgres \\\n  psql -U mem0 -d mem0 -c \"SELECT DISTINCT user_id FROM memories;\"\n```\n\nThat will list all user IDs that currently have memories.  \n\n---\n\n### 🛠️ Next steps\n- Run that query to see which IDs exist.  \n- Then rerun the `/memories/search` curl with the exact string (for example, `\"default\"` or `\"Brian\"`).  \n\n---\n\n👉 Do you want me to give you a “catch-all” query that just dumps *every memory regardless of user_id* so you can see what’s inside?"

Cortex is now the default annotator.\n- All user messages stored in Mem0; no discard tier applied.\n\n### Added\n- Cortex annotations (`metadata.cortex`) now attached to memories.\n- Debug logging improvements:\n  - Pretty-print Cortex annotations\n  - Injected prompt preview\n  - Memory search hit list with scores\n- `.env` toggle (`CORTEX_ENABLED`) to bypass Cortex when needed.\n\n### Fixed\n- Parsing failures from Markdown-wrapped Cortex JSON via fence cleaner.\n- Relay no longer “hangs” on malformed Cortex outputs.\n\n### [Lyra-Cortex] v0.2.0 — 2025-09-26\n#### Added\n- Integrated **llama-server** on dedicated Cortex VM (Proxmox).\n- Verified Phi-3.5-mini-instruct_Uncensored-Q4_K_M running with 8 vCPUs.\n- Benchmarked Phi-3.5-mini performance:\n  - ~18 tokens/sec CPU-only on Ryzen 7 7800X.\n  - Salience classification functional but sometimes inconsistent (\"sali\", \"fi\", \"jamming\").\n- Tested **Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct GGUF** as alternative salience classifier:\n  - Much faster throughput (~350 tokens/sec prompt, ~100 tokens/sec eval).\n  - More responsive but over-classifies messages as “salient.”\n- Established `.env` integration for model ID (`SALIENCE_MODEL`), enabling hot-swap between models.\n\n#### Known Issues\n- Small models tend to drift or over-classify.\n- CPU-only 7B+ models expected to be slow; GPU passthrough recommended for larger models.\n- Need to set up a `systemd` service for `llama-server` to auto-start on VM reboot.\n\n---\n\n### [Lyra-Core] v0.3.0 — 2025-09-26\n#### Added\n- Implemented **salience filtering** in Relay:\n  - `.env` configurable: `SALIENCE_ENABLED`, `SALIENCE_MODE`, `SALIENCE_MODEL`, `SALIENCE_API_URL`.\n  - Supports `heuristic` and `llm` classification modes.\n  - LLM-based salience filter integrated with Cortex VM running `llama-server`.\n- Logging improvements:\n  - Added debug logs for salience mode, raw LLM output, and unexpected outputs.\n  - Fail-closed behavior for unexpected LLM responses.\n- Successfully tested with **Phi-3.5-mini** and **Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct** as salience classifiers.\n- Verified end-to-end flow: Relay → salience filter → Mem0 add/search → Persona injection → LLM reply.\n\n#### Changed\n- Refactored `server.js` to gate `mem.add()` calls behind salience filter.\n- Updated `.env` to support `SALIENCE_MODEL`.\n\n#### Known Issues\n- Small models (e.g. Qwen2-0.5B) tend to over-classify as \"salient\".\n- Phi-3.5-mini sometimes returns truncated tokens (\"sali\", \"fi\").\n- CPU-only inference is functional but limited; larger models recommended once GPU is available.\n\n---\n\n### [Lyra-Cortex] v0.1.0 — 2025-09-25\n#### Added\n- First deployment as dedicated Proxmox VM (5 vCPU / 18 GB RAM / 100 GB SSD).\n- Built **llama.cpp** with `llama-server` target via CMake.\n- Integrated **Phi-3.5 Mini Instruct (Uncensored, Q4_K_M GGUF)** model.\n- Verified **API compatibility** at `/v1/chat/completions`.\n- Local test successful via `curl` → ~523 token response generated.\n- Performance benchmark: ~11.5 tokens/sec (CPU-only on Ryzen 7800X).\n- Confirmed usable for salience scoring, summarization, and lightweight reasoning.\n\n---\n\n### [Lyra-Core] v0.2.0 — 2025-09-24\n#### Added\n- Migrated Relay to use `mem0ai` SDK instead of raw fetch calls.\n- Implemented `sessionId` support (client-supplied, fallback to `default`).\n- Added debug logs for memory add/search.\n- Cleaned up Relay structure for clarity.\n\n---\n\n### [Lyra-Core] v0.1.0 — 2025-09-23\n#### Added\n- First working MVP of **Lyra Core Relay**.\n- Relay service accepts `POST /v1/chat/completions` (OpenAI-compatible).\n- Memory integration with Mem0:\n  - `POST /memories` on each user message.\n  - `POST /search` before LLM call.\n- Persona Sidecar integration (`GET /current`).\n- OpenAI GPT + Ollama (Mythomax) support in Relay.\n- Simple browser-based chat UI (talks to Relay at `http://<host>:7078`).\n- `.env` standardization for Relay + Mem0 + Postgres + Neo4j.\n- Working Neo4j + Postgres backing stores for Mem0.\n- Initial MVP relay service with raw fetch calls to Mem0.\n- Dockerized with basic healthcheck.\n\n#### Fixed\n- Resolved crash loop in Neo4j by restricting env vars (`NEO4J_AUTH` only).\n- Relay now correctly reads `MEM0_URL` and `MEM0_API_KEY` from `.env`.\n\n#### Known Issues\n- No feedback loop (thumbs up/down) yet.\n- Forget/delete flow is manual (via memory IDs).\n- Memory latency ~1–4s depending on embedding model."
