This episode explains how embedding models turn language into numerical vectors and how vector databases like Pinecone, FAISS, or Weaviate store and search those vectors efficiently. You'll learn how this system enables GenAI models to retrieve relevant information in real-time, power RAG pipelines, and scale up tool-augmented LLM workflows.
