Weaviate
Weaviate is an open-source vector database developed by Dutch company SeMI Technologies, designed for storing, indexing, and retrieving high-dimensional vector data. It supports semantic search, hybrid search (combining vector and keyword methods), and multimodal data processing, and provides built-in machine learning model integration. Weaviate can be deployed in cloud or on-premises environments and is used in natural language processing, recommendation systems, and AI application development.
Core Facts
RAG（检索增强生成）技术架构将文档切片、向量化、存入向量数据库，查询时先检索相关片段再交给模型生成回答
Vector databases such as FAISS, Chroma, and Weaviate build indexes by encoding text as high-dimensional vectors, enabling semantic similarity retrieval in milliseconds.
RAG addresses the limitation of large models' knowledge cutoff dates by splitting private documents into text chunks, converting them into vector representations stored in a vector database, and injecting retrieved relevant content into the Prompt.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Vector databases (such as Pinecone, Weaviate, and Qdrant) specialize in storing and retrieving vectors; in AI scenarios they convert data such as text and images into vectors, so that content with similar semantics is also close in distance in vector space.
Common choices for vector databases include PostgreSQL with pgvector, MongoDB Vector Search, Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, and others.
RRF（倒数排名融合）是一种无需训练、无需归一化的多路检索结果融合算法，公式为score = Σ weight_r / (k + rank_r(d))，k通常取60，被Elasticsearch和Weaviate等系统采纳为默认融合策略。
In the RAG offline phase, enterprise documents are split into chunks, converted into high-dimensional vectors via an embedding model, and stored in a vector database such as Pinecone, Qdrant, or Weaviate.
For small-to-medium knowledge bases such as refund policies and FAQs, Google Sheets can serve as a lightweight database without the need for a vector database.
All five organizations have confirmed and patched the vulnerability, involving Google, JPMorgan Chase, Weaviate, France's government digital agency, and the municipal government of Tangerang, Indonesia.
Another technical approach for large language models to implement memory is to use external vector databases (such as Pinecone or Weaviate) for semantic retrieval of learning records and dynamic extraction of relevant segments.
Pinecone, Weaviate, and Qdrant all support hybrid queries (vector retrieval combined with structured field pre-filtering).
CLM-style solutions have inherent potential to integrate with existing vector databases (such as Faiss, Pinecone, and Weaviate) and approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) algorithms, scaling to candidate sets in the millions while maintaining millisecond-level response times.
Understanding the course content generally requires familiarity with Python asynchronous programming, experience with vector databases (such as Pinecone, Weaviate, and Chroma), and knowledge of large model API calls (such as OpenAI and Anthropic).
