Ask HN: How are you doing RAG locally?

Posted by tmaly 1/14/2026

I am curious how people are doing RAG locally with minimal dependencies for internal code or complex documents?

Are you using a vector database, some type of semantic search, a knowledge graph, a hypergraph?

A new account, named after the thinking you're linking just looks like spam.

Also I've got no idea what this product does, this is just a generic page of topical ai buzzwords

Don't tell me what it is, /show me why/ you built it. Then go back and keep that reasoning in, show me why I should care

You are talking with a spam bot.
