Grepai Embeddings Lmstudio

This configures LM Studio as your embedding provider for GrepAI if you want local embeddings with a GUI instead of fumbling with CLI tools. You download LM Studio, grab a model like nomic-embed-text-v1.5, start the local server, and point your config at localhost:1234. It's genuinely easier than Ollama for getting started since everything is visual, but there's a catch: the server stops when you close the app. Fine for development work, less ideal if you want embeddings running 24/7 in the background. The guide covers three models with different speed/quality tradeoffs and includes the usual troubleshooting for connection issues.
