So what are vector databases? I mentioned that a lot throughout the course, but I haven't defined them and we haven't looked at them in detail. At their core, vector databases are specialized databases that are designed to store, manage, and query high-dimensional vectors. In other words, vector embeddings. As we learned, these vector embeddings are the numerical representation of our data, whether it's text, images, audio.
