They also discussed NPM token management, transferring the package to the organization, and Shaw sent invites to make team members maintainers of the Eliza package. (Key Participants: shaw, cjft, Borko, Odilitime)
- **#💬-coders:** Discussion about technical capabilities including using local Ollama embeddings with the knowledge plugin as an alternative to OpenAI/Google API, and how Telegram images can be sent to N8N in multiple dimensions. (Key Participants: 0xbbjoker, n3kobuff, Vladimir)
- **#🥇-partners:** Request for partners to share interesting data or questions for Eliza to answer as part of research for a new knowledge system. (Key Participants: avirtualfuture)

### User Feedback
- User n3kobuff inquired about using local Ollama embeddings with the knowledge plugin as an alternative to OpenAI/Google API, to which 0xbbjoker confirmed it works out of the box without additional configuration. (Sentiment: positive)
