What is client-vector-search?
client-vector-search provides a solution for embedding, storing, and searching vectors directly on the client side. It allows developers to implement semantic search functionalities with minimal code, potentially as few as five lines. The tool emphasizes speed, claiming to compute embeddings that outperform OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002 on the client and search up to 100,000 vectors in under 100 milliseconds, thereby reducing latency issues associated with server-side processing.
For scalability, client-vector-search offers an embedding API. This API supports embedding, storing, and searching up to 10 million vectors for a monthly fee. A playground feature is available for users to test embedding computation speed with custom text or explore search performance using a pre-loaded Wikipedia dataset.
Features
- Client-Side Processing: Embed, store, and search vectors directly in the user's browser.
- Semantic Search Implementation: Enable semantic search with minimal code (as few as 5 lines).
- High-Performance Embeddings: Compute embeddings locally, reportedly outperforming standard models like OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002.
- Fast Vector Search: Search up to 100K vectors in under 100ms.
- Low Latency: Reduces latency by performing operations on the client side.
- Scalable Embedding API: Optional API to handle up to 10M vectors.
- Interactive Playground: Test embedding and search speed with custom data or a Wikipedia dataset.
Use Cases
- Implementing fast semantic search within web applications.
- Building applications requiring offline or client-side vector search capabilities.
- Reducing server load and latency for vector search operations.
- Developing AI-powered features without immediate reliance on server-side infrastructure.
- Prototyping applications with vector search functionality quickly.
