Maybe I don’t have enough ‘AI’ experience to understand, but I’m not getting the future of vector databases. 90% of the use cases I’ve encountered also benefit from keyword search, faceting, etc. and therefore a more traditional search engine like Elastic, Meilisearch, or even Postgres makes more sense than something that is purely focused on the vector index. At this point every search engine has a solid vector and hybrid search implementation.
It’ll be nice when the AI hype settles down a bit, so many of these “re-invent the wheel, with more AI sprinkles” projects popping up.<p>So many existing DBs can already do vector search, do we really need one dedicated to just that?
