Why?

From Wikipedia: "A vector database management system (VDBMS) or simply vector database or vector store is a database that can store vectors (fixed-length lists of numbers) along with other data items. Vector databases typically implement one or more Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) algorithms, so that one can search the database with a query vector to retrieve the closest matching database records."

In order for LLMs to use existing and corpus for its reasoning and response generation, that corpus should be indexed in a semantically significant way.

What?

Create a Vector database and prompt it for retrieval-augemented generation (RAG) using Midokura data.
