Live demo shows Weaviate ingesting a news corpus, vectorizing text (and images) with built‑in models, and serving vectorized semantic search plus filters via GraphQL API and REST clients (Python/Go/Java/JS). Queries return relevant articles that have a 0% keyword match to the query yet high semantic relevance, support on‑the‑fly classification and extractive answers, and produce summaries. The demo combines vector nearest‑neighbour lookup with structured filters and it visibly surfaces the intended results.
