Advancements in Vector Database Technology

Today we’re joined by Ed Anuff, chief product officer at DataStax. In our conversation, we discuss Ed’s insights on RAG, vector databases, embedding models, and more. We dig into the underpinnings of modern vector databases (like HNSW and DiskANN) that allow them to efficiently handle massive and unstructured data sets, and discuss how they help users serve up relevant results for RAG, AI assistants, and other use cases. We also discuss embedding models and their role in vector comparisons and database retrieval as well as the potential for GPU usage to enhance vector database performance.
