If you are truly bitter-lesson pilled - give the agent all the tools and let it decide which to use. - regex (grep) - hybrid search (bm25+vector) this X vs Y is uninteresting when the answer can be both.

Good article - the most use cases i see of pg_vector are typically “chat over their technical docs” - small corpus - doesn’t change often / can rebuild the index - no multi-tenancy avoids much of the issues with post-filtering Chroma i

Hey there Chroma is fully OSS - embedded, single-node and distributed (data and control plane). afaik lance distributed is not OSS. We do have plans to release the crate (enabling embedded chroma in rust) - but haven't gotten around to

Qdrant team is also smart! The main reason we have seen people switch from Qdrant to Chroma is for operational simplicity and reliability. With Qdrant you have to size nodes, manage sharding, be oncall, etc - with Chroma there is literally
