Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced PG Vector, an open-source tool that integrates generative AI and vector capabilities into PostgreSQL databases. Sirish Chandrasekaran, General Manager of Amazon Relational Database Services, explained at Open Source Summit 2024 in Seattle that PG Vector allows users to store vector types in Postgres and perform similarity searches, a key feature for generative AI applications.
The tool, developed by Andrew Kane and offered by AWS in services like Aurora and RDS, originally used an indexing scheme called IVFFlat but has since adopted Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW) for improved query performance.
HNSW offers a graph-based approach, enhancing the ability to find nearest neighbors efficiently, which is crucial for generative AI tasks. AWS emphasizes customer feedback and continuous innovation in the rapidly evolving field of generative AI, aiming to stay responsive and adaptive to customer needs.
