Stop Renting Your AI's Memory — Dylan Couzon, Qdrant

Why watch

Dylan Couzon explains why AI memory (the context that makes an assistant personalized) is still rented from cloud providers while inference has moved to local hardware. He demonstrates Qdrant Edge, an embedded vector database that enables a drone to build searchable memory in just 15 MB with sub-millisecond queries, fully offline. The talk covers why retrieval-augmented approaches beat stuffing everything into prompts, and how owning your AI's memory provides continuity and autonomy.
