QNAP today announced an upgrade to Qsirch, its core NAS search application, launching Qsirch AI Mode with integrated VLM and LLM capabilities to optimize the user search experience.
With this new mode, users can search across files, images, audio, video, and other media formats using natural-language descriptions to accurately find the data they need.
QNAP stated that all AI inference in Qsirch AI Mode is performed locally on the NAS, with no need to upload file contents to public cloud APIs. The mode supports keyword, content, and contextual matching for files, as well as two-way synchronization between timelines and transcribed text for audio and video.
