概念定义

向量数据库选择是指根据RAG应用的数据规模、性能需求、部署环境等因素,在Milvus、Pinecone、Chroma、Weaviate等向量数据库中选择最适合的解决方案,以实现高效的向量存储、检索和相似性搜索。

详细解释

向量数据库在2025年已成为AI应用,特别是RAG系统的核心基础设施。随着嵌入模型精度提升和应用场景复杂化,向量数据库从简单的相似性搜索工具演进为集成多模态存储、混合检索、实时更新的综合数据平台。 选择合适的向量数据库需要综合考虑性能表现、扩展性、易用性、成本等多个维度。Milvus在大规模高性能场景表现突出,Pinecone提供极致的托管服务体验,Weaviate擅长混合搜索,Chroma简单易用适合原型开发。2025年各数据库都在向着GPU加速、分布式架构、云原生部署方向发展。
