Weaviate is an open-source vector search engine (docs - Github) that can store and search through OpenAI embeddings and data objects. The database allows you to do similarity search, hybrid search (the combining of multiple search techniques, such as keyword-based and vector search), and generative search (like Q&A). Weaviate also supports a wide variety of OpenAI-based modules (e.g., text2vec-openai, qna-openai), allowing you to vectorize and query data fast and efficiently.
You can run Weaviate (including the OpenAI modules if desired) in three ways:
- Open source inside a Docker-container (example)
- Using the Weaviate Cloud Service (get started)
- In a Kubernetes cluster (learn more)
