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

This talk by Dylan Couzon from Qdrant argues for owning AI memory, contrasting it with renting inference. It breaks down memory into write, retrieve, and forget operations, emphasizing the superiority of retrieval over simply dumping data into prompts. A live, offline demo showcases a drone building its own searchable memory with sub-millisecond queries in a 15MB footprint using Qdrant Edge. The talk also touches on the CPU/RAM/disk model for LLMs, context, and memory, and introduces the concept of a shared 'hive mind' memory for agents with opt-in consent.
