Find out about what they’re, how they work and what you’ll want to stand up and operating with them!

The opposite day I got here throughout a tweet that made me pause for a second:

It was posted by none apart from Kelsey Hightower, a former Google colleague, who over time has earned virtually legendary standing within the open supply and developer neighborhood.

🤔 He makes an excellent level: with all of the noise surrounding generative AI (GenAI), it’s simple to get caught up within the fancy demos and an virtually fixed stream of bulletins about new fashions. 😮‍💨 Attempting to maintain up is frankly overwhelming!

So for this put up (and possibly for the following few) I wish to discover totally different ranges of abstraction. My aim is to try to clarify how a number of the underlying elements we take as a right truly work, delving down the stack till we hit the {hardware}, and all the way in which again as much as the consumer.

📧 Follow me and turn into an e mail subscriber to get new story alerts if this feels like your jam.

⏭️ Anyhow, let’s get into the subject at hand! Vector Databases (VectorDBs)…

Purposes that contain LLMs, semantic search or some component of GenAI require very environment friendly information processing.

I’m not simply speaking in regards to the large swathes of textual content, picture or video information we ingest to coach the underlying AI fashions that energy these functions.
