Weaviate is an open source, cloud‑native vector search engine from SeMI Technologies that stores objects as vectors, serves CRUD over REST and GraphQL, and runs modular inference services (containerized) to vectorize text or images. Live demos use a news dataset of a few thousand articles, show nearText filter searches ranked by nearest neighbor, and expose scores like 87% certainty. Built modules include BERT (Hugging Face) for text, ResNet50 for images, QA and NER, and it scales to millions of objects with horizontal scaling coming soon.
