Vector databases

Vector and vector-compatible databases (which is to say, databases with vector capabilities, that may or may not be multi-model) are designed for storing, searching, and otherwise operating on vector data. Although they have seen a recent surge in popularity because they are well-suited to working with GAI and LLMs, they have actually been around for quite some time. That said, vector applications have historically been fairly niche, in part because it is relatively difficult for end users to query or otherwise work with them, as vectors are, at least conceptually, somewhat complex mathematical objects. LLMs, on the other hand, have no problem interacting with them.
