/arthack:question

Can you explain the algorithm/process we use to sync claude sessions to chromadb? how often? Do we incrementally add conversations? What if a conversations updates? When I semantic search the db how fresh can I expect it to be?

Models Alongside QMD on RTX 3060 Ti (8GB)

With QMD using ~3GB, you'd have ~5GB free.

Audio Transcription

Model VRAM Quality Fits alongside QMD?
Whisper small ~2 GB Good for clear audio Yes, easily
Whisper medium ~5 GB Great, near-SOTA Tight but yes

RTX 3060 Ti for QMD Inference

For the QMD stack, it'll be great:

QMD models (~3GB VRAM total):

Model Size What it does Expected speed
embeddinggemma-300M Tiny Document embedding Near-instant, batch hundreds/sec
Qwen3-Reranker-0.6B Small Reranking results Very fast, sub-100ms per query
qmd-query-expansion-1.7B Medium Query expansion Fast, probably 80-100+ tok/s
