local vector store

High-performance storage that lives on your machine to index and retrieve embeddings for private, low-latency AI applications.

Local vector stores (like Chroma or LanceDB) bypass cloud latency by keeping high-dimensional data on your own hardware. You get sub-10ms retrieval times for RAG pipelines without sending sensitive data over the wire. These tools use HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) algorithms to index millions of 1536-dimensional vectors from models like OpenAI's text-embedding-3-small. It is the efficient choice for developers building private, offline-first agents that need fast semantic search on a budget.
