Weaviate
Also known as: Weaviate / ウィービエイト
An open-source vector database with a native GraphQL API. It features an object-oriented data model and built-in hybrid search combining vectors and keywords, available self-hosted or via Weaviate Cloud.
Overview
Weaviate can manage multi-modal embeddings (text, image, audio) in a unified store for RAG systems. Its module system automatically applies embedding models at query time.
Choosing Between Weaviate and Pinecone
Weaviate's OSS nature makes it ideal for enterprises that need to deploy within a VPC for data sovereignty. For confidential data RAG, combining it with NVIDIA DGX Spark local LLM is effective.
