For local usage, MemGPT can be installed and run as a conversation agent in CLI mode. The system allows users to create a new starter user or persona, and it supports various commands for interaction. By default, MemGPT uses 'gpt-4', so the user's API key will require 'gpt-4' API access. For any issues or feature requests, users are encouraged to open a GitHub issue. The datasets used in the MemGPT paper can be downloaded at HuggingFace.
