The Vector Database Lie

The Setup: The Hype Machine It’s vector database season. Conferences are full of RAG pipeline talks. Pinecone raised over $100 million; Milvus, Weaviate, and Qdrant are all well-funded and competing to disrupt how we store and search embeddings. Let’s be blunt: The vector databases are poorly implemented, and most of the companies implementing them are doing so to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
