[D] Usefulness of vector databases and their real-world applications

Key_Story_2768B to Machine Learning@academy.gardenEnglish · 1 year ago

I have been working on a presentation that sums up the main points why vector databases are often an unnecessary optimization that’s too often being promoted by vector database vendors. The slides are available here: https://vec3.ai/

Do you think vector databases are overrated?
In what instances have vector databases proved most useful in your projects, and were they commercial implementations?
