"#Pgvector vs. #Qdrant: Open-Source Vector #Database Comparison"
TL;DR pgvector is awesome
#pgvector
If you're trying to figure out how the heck vector searches work (for retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG), this set of slides will get you up to speed incredibly quickly.

Thanks to @pamelafox for putting this together. 👏
🚀🎉 Oh joy, another techie proudly smashes #pgvector into tiny pieces like a toddler with a LEGO set, all in the name of "optimization."🙄 Apparently, splitting tables between machines is "easier"—just like juggling chainsaws! 🔥💻

Shaun Thomas (https://bonesmoses.org) speaking at #SCaLE22x about #AI with #pgvector / #pgvectorize on #PostgreSQL
This looks really promising for pre-retrieval optimization in #rag. If you already use #PostgreSQL in your rag process like #pgvector this could be a nice addition. https://blog.vectorchord.ai/vectorchord-bm25-revolutionize-postgresql-search-with-bm25-ranking-3x-faster-than-elasticsearch

I'm happy to share that I'll be speaking at PyCon Italia 2025 🎉
I'll show you how to implement a semantic search with Python, Django and PostgreSQL 🤖
See you in Bologna from 29 May 2025 🇮🇹

Whelp, I now have the #pgvector extension added to #PostgreSQL. Will be interesting to see how it performs as a vector database.
If it works well, it will be the only one I can get reasonably working with #Perl 😢
@dgapitts will be the second speaker in attendance, discussing "Postgres and Vector Databases" and covering #pgvector as a tool of choice for AI and machine learning projects, along with other #OpenSource solutions.

🤖 Did you know Postgres is a powerhouse of extensibility?
In this Dead Code episode, Andrew Atkinson dives into Postgres’s lesser-known superpower: its vast ecosystem of extensions. From pgvector for AI applications to countless other capabilities, Postgres can be customized for virtually any data need.
If you haven’t explored the extensions out there, this episode is your sign! 🪧https://shows.acast.com/dead-code/episodes/postgres-and-destroy-with-andrew-atkinson #Postgres #pgvector #DatabaseExtensions #DeadCodePodcast #AIDevelopment
Что ищет он в краю далёком? Как найти смысл жизни с PostgreSQL
Эта статья родилась из пары лекций, которые я прочитал студентам в рамках курса, посвященного вопросам машинного обучения. Почему именно PostgreSQL? Почему векторы? За последние два года тема языковых моделей стала невероятно популярной, и вместе с этим появилось множество инструментов, доступных даже начинающему инженеру, стремящемуся познакомиться с миром текстового анализа. Доступность этих технологий открывает безграничные возможности для их применения в самых разных областях: от систем управления знаниями до «копилотов», помогающих более тщательно анализировать анамнез пациентов, или информационных киосков, позволяющих собрать идеальную корзину товаров для пикника. Вряд ли данная работа может похвастаться полнотой или глубиной, однако, я надеюсь, что она предоставит те самые “хорошие” точки входа, которые позволят, погружаясь в детали, открыть для себя множество новых интересных и полезных тем для исследований и инженерных проектов. Откроем скрытые смыслы
