Claims that vector databases (Weaviate, Pinecone, Chroma) store model embeddings to enable true semantic search, demonstrated with a hands‑on Weaviate Java client demo. Shows embeddings for text, images, audio and code, explains HNSW indexing and approximate nearest‑neighbor search for millisecond lookups even at trillions of embeddings, and outlines concrete uses: deduplication, RAG to feed ChatGPT relevant document chunks, anomaly detection, recommendations, and how distance thresholds return empty results when nothing is similar.
