Make runtime user data the standard #446

Open mdekstrand opened 4 months ago

mdekstrand commented 4 months ago

With #444, I would like to make it easy — and ideally the default — to provide query user history & profile data when recommendations are requested, instead of expecting it to always be memorized. Components are of course free to memorize user embeddings, etc., but there are many cases when live updates are wanted and/or per-user memorization is not necessary.
