Enter the Brave New World of GenAI with Vector Search
summary
Overview of how vector search plugs into GenAI workflows with concrete tooling and a short live demo. Shows Astra (DataStax) managed Cassandra offering with a vector data type (Astra platform, $25 free tier, no credit card), demonstrates creating a vector database, using CQL/CLI and similarity queries powered by ANN, and mentions a pure‑Java JVector library implementing Microsoft’s DIS technique. Explains embeddings, cosine/dot metrics, RAG as a fix for stale LLMs, and notes GPT‑3.5 hit 1 million users in five days.
