Airbyte has introduced a new vector database destination that enables users to create vector embeddings from any airbyte-supported source and directly load them into vector databases. This unlocks retrieval-augmented generation and powerful similarity search use cases on unstructured data. Currently, Pinecone and the embedded DocArray database are supported, with more options planned. The vector database destination simplifies LLM-supported use cases by handling chunking and embedding, allowing users to directly connect sources to the vector database through an Airbyte connection.
