Introduction

This week, Vivek Ramaswami talks with Chroma Co-founder and CEO Jeff Huber. Chroma is an open-source vector database, and vector databases have taken the AI world by storm recently, with Chroma quickly emerging as one of the leading offerings in the space. Jeff's background is in machine learning, and for him and his co-founder, starting Chroma was a classic "there has to be a better way moment when it comes to going from demo to production".

Vivek and Jeff talk about why on earth we need another database, the new wave of software engineering happening right now, community-led growth, the competitive landscape, and so much more.
