Hi, I'm Ben, the co-creator of Embedbase. Embedbase lets you use OpenAI Embeddings and Pinecone seamlessly. For example, you can add Embedbase to your app and pair it with GPT3 to allow people to search using natural language (e.g. How many workouts did I complete last week?), or simply expanding your current search experience beyond full-text search (e.g. looking for "similar" documents in Notion to find other related information) Managing embeddings is uncharted territory, we needed to discover the best practices ourselves. Now we're happy to share our learnings with Embedbase. Shoot if…

Hi there! When Supabase announced their recent hackathon, I thought it was a good time to build something to learn more about so many of the new AI models and tech out there. From the different techniques of embedding documents to the future RAG. With the rise of short form content with TikTok and Youtube. A lot more knowledge is in videos than ever before. Finding specific answers within millions of videos can be difficult for any one person to go through. So the question is if there is Google that indexes text on website making it easier to find based on the context of on your question,…

Hi HN, A few of our team members at Airbyte (and Joe, who killed it!) recently played with building our own internal support chat bot, using Airbyte, Langchain, Pinecone and OpenAI, that would answer any questions we ask when developing a new connector on Airbyte. As we prototyped it, we realized that it could be applied for many other use cases and sources of data, so... we created a tutorial that other community members can leverage [http://airbyte.com/tutorials/chat-with-your-data-using-opena...] and the Github repo to run it…

As a grad student (and an ADHDer), I had trouble doing literature review systematically. To combat this, I made a website that finds similar papers using the meaning of the thing I am looking for. I used MixedBread's [^1] embedding model to generate vectors from the abstracts. I store and search similar vectors using Milvus [^2] and finally use Gradio [^3] to serve the frontend. I update the vector database weekly by pulling the metadata dataset from Kaggle [^4]. To speed up the search process on my free oracle instance, I binarise the embeddings and use Hamming distance as a metric. I would…

Hey HN! I built a proof-of-concept for AI memory using Git instead of vector databases. The insight: Git already solved versioned document management. Why are we building complex vector stores when we could just use markdown files with Git's built-in diff/blame/history? How it works: Memories stored as markdown files in a Git repo Each conversation = one commit git diff shows how understanding evolves over time BM25 for search (no embeddings needed) LLMs generate search queries from conversation context Example: Ask "how has my project evolved?" and it uses git diff to show actual…

Hey HN! My brothers and I have worked on this for the last 2 weeks. We use OpenAI's `text-embedding-ada-002` model to embed queries and a vector database to search for similar verses / blocks of verses. We'd like to see what you think and appreciate any feedback!

I am excited to announce a new tool for music producers and audio enthusiasts - a music audio search engine. With just a simple description of the groove you're looking for, our semantic search engine will output the most similar audio in seconds. I used the Freesound.org API to upload over 3,000 grooves to MongoDB, and combined all the relevant data such as tags, title, description, BPM, etc. into OpenAI's Text-Davinci to generate a unique description of each sound. I then embedded these descriptions using the Ada Embeddings Model and inserted them into Pinecone DB vector database, making…

Hey HN - I’m Jeff, co-founder of Chroma. In December of 2022, I was scrolling Twitter in the wee-hours of the morning holding my then-newborn daughter. ChatGPT had launched, and we were all figuring out what this technology was and how to make it useful. Developers were using retrieval to bring their data to the models - and so I DM’d every person who had tweeted about “embeddings” in the entire month of December. (it was only 120 people!) I saw then how AI was going to need to search to all the world’s information to build useful and reliable applications. Anton Troynikov and I started…

Author here. I just wanted a quick and easy way to easily submit strings to a REST API and get back the embedding vectors in JSON using Llama2 and other similar LLMs, so I put this together over the past couple days. It's very quick and easy to set up and totally self-contained and self-hosted. You can easily add new models to it by simply adding the HuggingFace URL to the GGML format model weights. Two models are included by default, and these are automatically downloaded the first time it's run. It lets you not only submit text strings and get back the embeddings, but also to compare two…

Hey folks, Elias here. Excited to unveil my latest project. Why I Built This: Traditional keyword search isn't cutting it. I've used LLM-embeddings to provide more nuanced, relevant results. How It Works: LLM-embedding similarity on curated datasets for semantically similar results. No need to iterate over keywords any more. Current Datasets: - YC Companies - Show HN Posts, - Ask HN Posts - ProductHunt Startups - Github Top 200k Repos Use Cases: - Validate a product idea's existence - Check if someone already Asked HN something - Have fun - search random terms and see what pops up Want to…

Introducing embeds.ai: an embedding playground to compare how embedding models work on a real world use case (retrieval augmented generation for Wikipedia articles + Elad Gil's High growth handbook) A few weeks ago, Shreyan and I were looking for an embedding model to use for RAG. We eventually came across the MTEB leaderboard, but we struggled to understand the benchmark scores. We wanted a tool to test various embedding models with example queries on real-world datasets. After unsuccessfully looking for such a “playground”, we decided to just build one ourselves! We embedded HuggingFace’s…

Hi HN. Peter here. As a machine learning engineer, I mostly think in terms of feature vectors, embeddings, and matrices. One of the most useful byproducts of deep neural networks is embeddings because they allow us to represent high-dimensional data in terms of lower-dimensional latent vectors. These feature vectors can be used for downstream applications like similarly search, recommendation systems and near duplicate detection. As an ML engineer, I was frustrated by the lack of a datastore in which vectors are first-class citizens. As a result, most ML engineers, including myself, end up…

Hey, OpenAI recently released "assistants" - These have RAG built into the API, which means that you can provide up to 10.000 files to the assistant without the overhead of dealing with vector databases, splitting files into chunks and more. They work surprisingly well, so I've built a free simple tool to embed them on websites. It has no dependencies and simply uses fetch to communicate to my backend which proxies openai. In the future I plan to add more widget embedding options (currently only chat is available). Let me know if you have any specific questions about either the tool or…

Hey everyone, A couple of months ago, we created Gurubase.io to build RAG-based Q&A agents focused on open-source tools, with the goal of helping developers learn and troubleshoot more effectively. Since then, it has gained momentum, with hundreds of repositories already using it and showcasing it to their users.. https://github.com/Gurubase/gurubase?tab=readme-ov-file#used... Today, we've released the entire system as an open-source project, allowing you to install it in your own infrastructure and create "Gurus" on any topic you choose. Current capabilities of Gurubase:…

We’ve recently open-sourced Model2vec, a method to distill sentence transformers into static embeddings that outperform all previous approaches by a large margin on MTEB. Our new models set a new state-of-the-art for static embeddings. Main features: - Our best model (potion-base-8M) has only 8M parameters, which is ~30mb on disk - Inference is ~500x faster than the distilled base model (bge-base), on a CPU - New models can be distilled in 30 seconds on a CPU without requiring a dataset - just a vocabulary - Numpy-only inference: The packaged can be install the package with minimal…
