Vectors are transforming the AI landscape by enabling new use cases while overcoming long-standing barriers. Machine learning teams struggle to deploy models in production due to high costs, throughput limitations, and the need for database considerations beyond vector search. However, the availability of open-source models and sample applications has accelerated innovation in this space. With strong coding skills no longer a prerequisite, enterprises can now build with these available models, unlocking new opportunities and value creation. Despite challenges, innovation will bring down infrastructure costs and introduce new application patterns, ultimately making it possible for enterprises to deploy AI applications at scale.
