- SQLite for Embeddings — A simple, embedded vector database that stores everything in a single file.
- No server or setup required, just vectors in a file.
- Supports local development with easy swapping to cloud services like Pinecone in production.
- Basic operations include insert, search, get, delete, and metadata filtering.
- Works offline, persists automatically, and supports various distance metrics (cosine, L2, dot).
- Ideal for local RAG, personal AI, prototyping, edge devices, and privacy-focused applications.
- Current version (v0.1.0) is a working alpha focused on simplicity over performance.
- Open for contributions, optimizations, and feature requests.
- Combines the best of SQLite (embedded) and FAISS (fast similarity search).
- Licensed under Apache 2.0, built for AI developers.
