When companies talk about the cost of artificial intelligence, the conversation almost always starts with models: which one to use, what it costs per million tokens, and whether a smaller model is ...

The vector data type stores vector data optimized for operations such as similarity search and machine learning applications. Vectors are stored in an optimized binary format but are exposed as JSON ...

Mechanistic modeling of chemical transformations offers a compelling basis for understanding reactivity and allows for ...

Vector databases store, index, filter, and search embeddings so applications can retrieve items by similarity at operational scale. This guide explains the mechanism, trade-offs, evaluation, and ...

Databricks on September 28, 2026, introduced Lakebase Search, a built-in search engine for its Lakebase Postgres database delivered through two extensions: lakebasevector for approximate nearest ...

Vector vortex beams, structured light fields characterized by polarization and phase singularities, offer substantial promise for next-generation photonic technologies. While the detection of scalar ...

Vector databases have graduated from experimental tooling to mission-critical infrastructure. In 2026, vector databases serve as the core retrieval layer for RAG pipelines, semantic search systems, ...

At Uber, our systems handle massive amounts of data daily, from ridesharing to delivery. We’ve traditionally used keyword-based search with Apache Lucene ™. However, we needed to move beyond simple ...

Think about your favorite apps – the ones that deliver instant results from massive amounts of data. They're likely powered by vector search, the same technology that fuels generative AI. Vector ...

A support vector machine (SVM) is a type of supervised learning algorithm used in machine learning to solve classification and regression tasks. SVMs are particularly good at solving binary ...

We are excited to introduce the Microsoft.Extensions.VectorData.Abstractions library, now available in preview. Just as the Microsoft.Extensions.AI libraries offer a unified layer for working with AI ...
