If you want to discover and deep dive into: • What is a Vector? Understanding how high-dimensional numerical representations store meaning in the context of Apache Pinot. • AI’s Growing Reliance on Vectors – From recommendation systems to search engines, how AI uses vector embeddings to understand relationships between words, images, and concepts. • The Rise of LLMs & English as the New Programming Language – With Large Language Models (LLMs) enabling natural language interfaces, vector embeddings are powering a shift where human-friendly queries drive powerful computation. • Vectors as the Backbone of AI-Powered Databases – How modern databases are evolving to support real-time vector search, enabling applications like semantic search, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and AI-driven personalization.
