About Vespa
Vespa is forBig Data + AI, online. At any scale, with unbeatable performance.
To build production-worthy online applications that combine data and AI, you need more than point solutions: You need a platform that integrates data and compute to achieve true scalability and availability - and which does this without limiting your freedom to innovate. Only Vespa does this.
Vespa is a fully featured search engine and vector database. It supports vector search (ANN), lexical search, and search in structured data, all in the same query. Users can easily build recommendation applications on Vespa. Integrated machine-learned model inference allows you to apply AI to make sense of your data in real-time.
Together with Vespa's proven scaling and high availability, this empowers you to create production-ready search applications at any scale and with any combination of features.

Embeddinghub
Operationalize your embeddings with one simple tool. Experience a comprehensive database designed to provide embedding functionality that, until now, required multiple platforms. Elevate your machine learning quickly and painlessly through Embeddinghub.
Embeddings are dense, numerical representations of real-world objects and relationships, expressed as vectors. They are often created by first defining a supervised machine learning problem, known as a "surrogate problem." Embeddings intend to capture the semantics of the inputs they were derived from, subsequently getting shared and reused for improved learning across machine learning models. Embeddinghub lets you achieve this in a streamlined, intuitive way.
