No book will ever be as insightful as “The Gay Science” by Nietzsche, but “The Myth of Sisyphus” gets really close

What if your search engine could reason? And no, this is neither R1 nor O1/O3... 👀

OramaCore is fast. The time to the first token is ~750ms on consumer hardware. In this demo, we perform query translation and optimization, vector search (with embedding generation), and text generation. In 750ms.

I made a small visualization tool to visualize the reconstruction error on embeddings compressed via product quantization... should I open source it?

it was just lazy, I forgive it

The only thing I miss from the other app

Michele Riva @riva.wtf · 26/11/2024

Almost done... I will try to open-source this today. I faced many difficulties finding good Rust-based vector quantization libraries, so I am writing one for @orama.com

Michele Riva @riva.wtf · 21/11/2024

Seriously @notion.com, EUR 9.50/month to use MY own domain? What the hell? And you only see that after paying EUR 11.50 for the plus plan? That's bad. That's soooo bad.

“based on what you know about me. draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like”. I’m so happy that ChatGPT doesn’t know anything at all about my personal life, ideas, and interests

I've always loved CouchDB's map/reduce expressions, so I'm introducing something similar in Orama. This is going to be so much fun.

Michele Riva @riva.wtf · 05/11/2024

I'm writing a new vector database for @orama.com on a CPU. The vectors are not even quantized yet. I think I can get into the nanosecond area for the average Orama index size during the KNN search. If I generate embeddings with a GPU, I might get into the microseconds for the whole process
