AI Explained: Vector Databases and AI Performance in RAG Pipelines

Vector databases are designed to enable large language models (LLMs), like chatbots or virtual assistants, to retrieve relevant information from unstructured datasets like text or images. By storing and managing numerical representations of complex data—high-dimensional vectors generated by machine learning models to capture the semantic essence of the data—vector databases empower generative AI models to deliver more contextually relevant outputs.

In this video, we’ll explore and learn about the role of vector databases in storing and querying embeddings for RAG systems, and more.
