It’s not quantization, it’s vectorization.

Mainly saw these features in Clickhouse, haha, now that the AI era has arrived, we can’t fall behind.

A vector database, simply put, is a database that focuses on distances, such as Euclidean distance, cosine similarity distance, etc. Relational databases are for human use, while vector databases are for AI use.
