The article explores the concept of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using SQLite, specifically with the sqlite-vec extension and the OpenAI API. It outlines a simplified approach to RAG, moving away from complex frameworks and cloud vector databases, using SQLite's virtual tables for vector search and semantic understanding.
Introducing sqlite-vec, a new SQLite extension for vector search written entirely in C. It's a stable release and can be installed in multiple ways. It runs on various platforms, is fast, and supports quantization techniques for efficient storage and search.
