Week 9 — Lesson 2: Storing embeddings in Chroma

2 min

In Week 8 you kept 155 NorthPeak vectors in a numpy matrix in memory. That does not scale to ten thousand documents, and it is lost when the program restarts. A vector database keeps each chunk with its id, text, vector and metadata, saves them on disk, and returns the k chunks nearest to a question in one call. This lesson builds the manuals collection of the course in Chroma, with the 31 chunks of Lesson 1, and runs a first search on it.

Preview — the rest of the lesson is for enrolled readers.
