The most impactful articles of the day
The popularity of vector databases is on the rise, spurred by the demand for handling unstructured data — such as images and text — within the realms of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. Unlike traditional databases, vector databases store and process data in vector embeddings, capturing their meaning and relationships, which improves the efficiency of machine learning applications. They're increasingly being used in real-time applications like content recommendations and are attracting significant investment. |  |
