About Awadb

AwaDB is an open-source, AI-native database for embedding vectors. It is distributed as a GitHub repository and can run as a local Python library on macOS or Linux, or as a service via Docker for Windows or other service deployments. It supports Python and RESTful usage, requires no manual schema definition or vector index tuning, and uses a lock-free realtime index with millisecond-level latency. Sentences are embedded with Sentence Transformers by default; users can also supply embeddings from OpenAI or other LLMs.
