- Local-model users indexing private documentation
- Worth noticing
- Example answers expose source filenames and character offsets; the sample index reports a 384-dimensional embedder.
Field notes
The documented path starts by building a .tome from .txt and .md files, then serving it through a local endpoint compatible with an Ollama-backed model. The example inspection output exposes the embedder, vector dimensions, chunk and source counts, while returned answers include source filenames and character ranges; graph retrieval is labeled early access.
