ColBERT Live! Makes Your Vector Database Smarter

What's this blog post about?

ColBERT Live! is a production-quality library for semantic search with an off-the-shelf vector database. It addresses the limitations of Stanford ColBERT by supporting updates to indexed data and integration with other application data. The library uses the Answer AI colbert-small-v1 model, which provides faster embeddings generation and more relevant results compared to the original model. ColBERT Live! also introduces new techniques for optimizing search relevance while reducing overhead. It is designed for robust, production-ready semantic search with out-of-domain search terms and can integrate with existing vector databases.
