Ask HN: What do you use for local embeddings?

I built this project Reminder (https://github.com/asim/reminder) when I was first learning about LLMs and RAG. It used OpenAi to generate embeddings and then Fanar for the LLM. I'd basically index the corpus of text, ask the question for the embeddings and pass the results to the LLM for more accurate results and summarisation. It worked quite well. But there's two problems. One it depends on OpenAi embeddings and using their API to continue that. And then the second is that it uses the Fanar model which is quite slow. So I was thinking about switching to full text search. But then I lose semantic search in a way. So then I started looking into different ways to do it. I'm running a fairly Low-Cost VM. No. Gpus. I tried using olama with nomic-embed-text but it's quite slow. I was thinking about using ONNX but wasn't quite sure. I'm just c

urious what other people are doing. I mean, do you just bite the bullet and leave it and then use a more powerful model for the llm so that's faster? It just curious to know what people are doing. I know a lot of people run stuff on their Mac Mini and things like that, but I don't have a Mac mini. I've also already had this discussion with Claude, but sometimes you know it's kind of nice to have a collection of human opinions. Because even though Claude is using a you know effectively an experience of the internet from the past. It can't really capture the sentiment of people now in this moment.

Two things. I have revived my work on Go Micro (https://github.com/micro/go-micro) and rewritten the v5 cli/api from scratch (https://github.com/micro/micro). As a VC funded company there was a lot of confusion around the tools we were building and we veered off in a direction that alienated the community. With the company dead, funding gone, etc there's an opportunity to rebuild value around the Go Micro framework. The second thing I'm working on is the Reminder (https://reminder.dev && https://github.com/asim/reminder). As a muslim I feel like it's my duty to spread the word of Islam and as an engineer I feel like an appropriate way to do that is build an app and API for the Quran, names of Allah and hadith. It's a slow patient building of something as opposed to expecting anything from it. In terms of new ideas, maybe not new but less

Show HN: Reminder – Ask the Quran Questions Using RAG and OpenAI

Hey all I started working on something that would enable me to use llms to ask questions to the Quran and related texts. I didn't have much prior exposure to AI. Except for some usage of chatgpt and the API. I'd be curious to get some feedback. I pre-built an index of embeddings for the Quran, Hadith (bukhari) and names of Allah. Any question first queries the index to create a context that's then fed in for the actual question. I think there's still significant tweaking required, but I'm learning something doing it so I thought it might be interesting to share. The code is also open source. https://github.com/asim/reminder
