SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

GrepAI can leverage LM Studio as a local, private embedding provider with a graphical user interface to manage models and endpoints, enabling on-device text representations without exposing data externally.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • GUI-based embedding management: Install, configure, and switch embedding models directly from LM Studio and reflect changes in GrepAI.
  • Local, private embeddings: Perform embedding generation entirely on the user's machine for privacy-sensitive projects.
  • Easy model switching: Seamlessly swap between embedding models (e.g., nomic-embed-text-v1.5, bge-small-en-v1.5) without code changes.
  • Use Case: Ideal for a secure team indexing a codebase with sensitive data while maintaining full data control.

Quick Start

  1. Launch LM Studio and download a compatible embedding model (e.g., nomic-embed-text-v1.5).
  2. Update GrepAI config to point to LM Studio: embedder: provider: lmstudio model: nomic-embed-text-v1.5 endpoint: http://localhost:1234
  3. Run GrepAI indexing or watch to begin embedding generation against the local server.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use local embeddings for code search without sending data externally?

You can generate local embeddings by configuring GrepAI to use LM Studio as the provider in your .grepai/config.yaml file. This setup ensures on-device text representation for code search without exposing your data externally.

Can I switch embedding models in LM Studio without changing my code?

Yes, you can switch embedding models directly from the LM Studio GUI. Seamless model swapping allows you to transition between models like nomic-embed-text-v1.5 and bge-small-en-v1.5 without modifying your project code.

How do I configure GrepAI to connect to an LM Studio embedding server?

To connect GrepAI to LM Studio, update your .grepai/config.yaml file. Set the embedder provider to lmstudio, specify your downloaded model name, and point the endpoint to your local LM Studio server address.

Do I need to install any specific dependencies to use GUI-managed local embeddings?

You need LM Studio installed and a downloaded embedding model. You must also configure your .grepai/config.yaml file with the correct provider, model, and endpoint settings to enable GUI-managed local embeddings.

When should I use a local embedding provider for codebase indexing?

Use a local embedding provider for privacy-sensitive projects requiring full data control. It is ideal for secure teams indexing a codebase with sensitive data while maintaining strict on-device privacy and local model management.
