What is a Vector Database?

AI increasingly relies the vector database, which enables low latency queries, making them ideal for AI-driven applications. How does that work?
In this video, Jamil Spain explains first what a vector, and vector embeddings, are and how those concepts allow a vector database to store, manage and index massive quantities of high-dimensional vector data efficiently.

While the title says "What is a Vector Database?", the video has no content describing what a vector database actually is (e.g. how is the data stored and accessed, what embeddings are, etc.), and no details of how vector databases differ from the others (e.g. no explanation of where/when/how a vector database is more performant and/or scalable than others). Obviously, detailing these would make a much longer video, and make it a much more useful one.

After watching 8 mins and 11 secs, there's still 1 question remans, "What is a Vector Database"?

The real MVPs are the commenters that watched the video and told us that a Vector Database isn't actually explained here. Saved me 8 minutes.

[parththapliyal]

I feel like I got clickbaited, no detail about vector databases.

[MartinKeen]

So wonderful to have you back on the channel Jamil!

Good overview of Large Language Model (LLM) concepts. Take away: vector is a powerful way to store information for high function computer processing.

[LexSijtsma]

Very nice explanation. High quality. Thank you.

[maskman]

Thank you for this tutorial, very helpful ❤🎉

[malikau]

Loved the video. And now I'm hoping for longer and more detailed one! :)

[khunban]

Great video. Super easy to follow. Love it.

[evgenii.panaite]

Always like your videos gyus 👍, but topic is still unclear for me, have to watch other videos

[TuffHaeTuff]

How to make such a video where they write and it comes correctly?? Clearly they are not behind a glass

[dsk]

but how is he writting backwards from right to left, , i felt like tenet LOl . from his perspective its always right to left in the video

[vishalmishra]

*Good theoretical video* except there was no sample tool, sample query or sample response in the video at all.
Just like supervised learning, humans also understand fast and deep, when there are some real world examples of vector-queries and vector-response examples from one or few real world tools.

[markkithinji]

so... a vector is an array and an embedding is a multidimension?

[boringmanager]

I have an array stored in sql schema. How is this implemented? what's the difference?

[josygeorge]

So, what is a vector database, then?

[shoe_Bin]

Didn’t explain what the title says, waste of time.

[nnightfall]

The first video was great, but this one is really basic and not on point at all.

[MrVipulLal]

As clear as mud. Doesn’t explain the database at all, just it’s features
