Show HN: Motörhead, LLM Memory Server Built in Rust

Motörhead is an open-source project aimed at helping developers build and manage LLM-based chat applications. We built Motörhead in Rust and it currently handles user sessions and context windows with the following features: -Short-term memory management: Motörhead maintains chat session histories for n users, keeping track of messages sent and received. -Incremental summarization: When the message buffer reaches a maximum window size, Motörhead incrementally summarizes the content into a context key. This process involves taking an existing summary and the messages removed from the list, then generating a new summary. -Semantic search with Redis: All messages are indexed in Redis alongside their respective embeddings, enabling efficient retrieval through semantic search when required. If you’re a developer working with LLM-powered applic
