Chroma
Chroma is the open-source embedding database. Chroma makes it easy to build LLM apps by making knowledge, facts, and skills pluggable for LLMs.
Chroma gives you the tools to:
- store embeddings and their metadata
- embed documents and queries
- search embeddings
Chroma prioritizes:
- simplicity and developer productivity
- analysis on top of search
- it also happens to be very quick
Chroma consists of a Python client SDK, JavaScript/TypeScript client SDK and a server application. Check out the Colab demo.(yes, it can run in a notebook 😄)
Chroma is licensed under Apache 2.0
