I use full length vectors (512 dimensions) and have seen very fast lookups with pgvector (HNSW index) and sqlite-vec on 20k vectors. I think any decent vector database should be able to handle 44k entries… which one are you using now?

This is really cool. How is reranking built in? Is there a model that runs inside the database? If so, how did you choose it?

Thanks! Yeah embedding is simple enough and my needs were small enough that I didn’t want to pay. Both llama-server and ollama are great options, and if container size isn’t an issue you get a greater variety running what you want with sentence transformers.

Cool site :)

This is a really cool idea. By “different models” do you mean models fine tuned on different sources? How would you decide how to classify chunks?

Aren’t most inventions anti-labor by this rationale? We employ fewer farmers than we used to, but this is good for society because people who would be farmers are now working on other things.
