Why Vector Database is important

 Indexing Vectors into Vector Databases:

  • Developers can index vectors generated by embeddings into a vector database.
  • This enables finding similar assets by querying for neighboring vectors.

Operationalizing Embedding Models:

  • Vector databases provide a method to operationalize embedding models.
  • Application development benefits from database capabilities like resource management, security controls, scalability, fault tolerance, and efficient information retrieval through sophisticated query languages.

Empowering Developers:

  • Vector databases empower developers to create unique application experiences.
  • Users could snap photographs on their smartphones to search for similar images.

Metadata Extraction and Hybrid Search:

  • Developers can use other machine learning models to automate metadata extraction from content like images and scanned documents.
  • They can index metadata alongside vectors to enable hybrid search on both keywords and vectors.
  • Fusion of semantic understanding into relevancy ranking improves search results.

Innovations in Generative AI:

  • Generative artificial intelligence (AI) introduces new models like ChatGPT that can generate text and manage complex conversations.
  • Some models operate on multiple modalities, allowing users to describe a landscape and generate an image that fits the description.

Challenges with Generative Models:

  • Generative models are prone to hallucinations, potentially causing issues like misleading information.

Vector Databases and Generative AI:

  • Vector databases can complement generative AI models.
  • They provide an external knowledge base for generative AI chatbots, ensuring the provision of trustworthy information.

What is the difference between Elastic and Enterprise Redis w.r.t "Hybrid Query" capabilities

  We'll explore scenarios involving nested queries, aggregations, custom scoring, and hybrid queries that combine multiple search criteria. 1. Nested Queries ElasticSearch Example: ElasticSearch supports nested documents, which allows for querying on nested fields with complex conditions. Query: Find products where the product has a review with a rating of 5 and the review text contains "excellent". { "query": { "nested": { "path": "reviews", "query": { "bool": { "must": [ { "match": { "reviews.rating": 5 } }, { "match": { "reviews.text": "excellent" } } ] } } } } } Redis Limitation: Redis does not support nested documents natively. While you can store nested structures in JSON documents using the RedisJSON module, querying these nested structures with complex condi...

Training LLM model requires more GPU RAM than storing same LLM

Storing an LLM model and training the same model both require memory, but the memory requirements for training are typically higher than just storing the model. Let's dive into the details: Memory Requirement for Storing the Model: When you store an LLM model, you need to save the weights of the model parameters. Each parameter is typically represented by a 32-bit float (4 bytes). The memory requirement for storing the model weights is calculated by multiplying the number of parameters by 4 bytes. For example, if you have a model with 1 billion parameters, the memory requirement for storing the model weights alone would be 4 GB (4 bytes * 1 billion parameters). Memory Requirement for Training: During the training process, additional components use GPU memory in addition to the model weights. These components include optimizer states, gradients, activations, and temporary variables needed by the training process. These components can require additional memory beyond just storing th...

How are vector databases used?

  Vector Databases Usage: Typically used for vector search use cases such as visual, semantic, and multimodal search. More recently, they are paired with generative AI text models for conversational search experiences. Development Process: Begins with building an embedding model designed to encode a corpus (e.g., product images) into vectors. The data import process is referred to as data hydration. Application Development: Application developers utilize the database to search for similar products. This involves encoding a product image and using the vector to query for similar images. k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) Indexes: Within the model, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) indexes facilitate efficient retrieval of vectors. A distance function like cosine is applied to rank results by similarity.
