Configurations - Mem0

Config in mem0

Config in mem0 is a dictionary that specifies the settings for your embedding models. It allows you to customize the behavior and connection details of your chosen embedder.

How to define configurations?

The config is defined as an object (or dictionary) with two main keys:

How to use configurations?

Here’s a general example of how to use the config with mem0:

Python

import os
from mem0 import Memory

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xx"

config = {
    "embedder": {
        "provider": "your_chosen_provider",
        "config": {
            # Provider-specific settings go here
        }
    }
}

m = Memory.from_config(config)
m.add("Your text here", user_id="user", metadata={"category": "example"})

TypeScript

import { Memory } from 'mem0ai/oss';

const config = {
  embedder: {
    provider: 'openai',
    config: {
      apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY || '',
      model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
      // Provider-specific settings go here
    },
  },
};

const memory = new Memory(config);
await memory.add("Your text here", { userId: "user", metadata: { category: "example" } });

Why is Config Needed?

Config is essential for:

  1. Specifying which embedding model to use.
  2. Providing necessary connection details (e.g., model, api_key, embedding_dims).
  3. Ensuring proper initialization and connection to your chosen embedder.
