You can use embedding models from Huggingface to run Mem0 locally.
The TypeScript SDK supports Hugging Face only through a hosted Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) endpoint, or any OpenAI-compatible Hugging Face endpoint. The local sentence-transformers mode shown first is Python-only.
Usage
import os
from mem0 import Memory
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your_api_key" # For LLM
config = {
"embedder": {
"provider": "huggingface",
"config": {
"model": "multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-v1"
}
}
}
m = Memory.from_config(config)
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "How about thriller movies? They can be quite engaging."},
{"role": "user", "content": "I'm not a big fan of thriller movies but I love sci-fi movies."},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Got it! I'll avoid thriller recommendations and suggest sci-fi movies in the future."}
]
m.add(messages, user_id="john")
Using Text Embeddings Inference (TEI)
You can also use Hugging Face’s Text Embeddings Inference service for faster and more efficient embeddings. This is the mode the TypeScript SDK uses.
Python
TypeScript
import os
from mem0 import Memory
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your_api_key" # For LLM
# Using HuggingFace Text Embeddings Inference API
config = {
"embedder": {
"provider": "huggingface",
"config": {
"huggingface_base_url": "http://localhost:3000/v1"
}
}
}
m = Memory.from_config(config)
m.add("This text will be embedded using the TEI service.", user_id="john")
import { Memory } from 'mem0ai/oss';
// Point at a running TEI server, or any OpenAI-compatible HF endpoint
const config = {
embedder: {
provider: 'huggingface',
config: {
huggingfaceBaseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/v1',
},
},
};
const memory = new Memory(config);
await memory.add("This text will be embedded using the TEI service.", { userId: "john" });
To run the TEI service, you can use Docker:
docker run -d -p 3000:80 -v huggingfacetei:/data --platform linux/amd64 \
ghcr.io/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference:cpu-1.6 \
--model-id BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5
Config
Here are the parameters available for configuring the Hugging Face embedder:
Python
TypeScript
| Parameter | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
model |
The name of the model to use | multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-v1 |
embedding_dims |
Dimensions of the embedding model | selected_model_dimensions |
model_kwargs |
Additional arguments for the model | None |
huggingface_base_url |
URL to connect to Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) API | None |
| Parameter | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
huggingfaceBaseUrl |
TEI or OpenAI-compatible endpoint URL. Required; falls back to baseURL, url, then the HUGGINGFACE_BASE_URL env var |
None |
model |
Model name sent to the endpoint (TEI ignores it) | tei |
apiKey |
API key for the endpoint; falls back to the HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY env var |
"hf" |
