Summary

A modern SQL database with vector search capabilities is the best platform for building intelligent applications that incorporate generative AI enhancements such as summarization of content and semantic search. These applications are already built on top of existing SQL databases, which provides a natural fit for integrating gen AI capabilities. The data is already in a relational format, making it easier to manage and integrate with other features like transactions, high availability, and disaster recovery. SingleStore, an emerging platform, has made significant progress in vector search capabilities and is well-positioned to support gen AI applications, offering improved performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness compared to specialized vector databases.
