Chroma

Chroma is an open-source database specifically designed for building AI applications that require sophisticated search and retrieval capabilities. It simplifies the process of working with embeddings, making it easier to create applications that can understand and search through complex data. The platform is built to provide retrieval that just works, whether you're building a prototype or a production-grade system.

It offers a comprehensive set of features to manage your entire retrieval pipeline:

• All-in-One Database: Natively handles embeddings, document storage, and metadata.
• Powerful Search: Combines dense vector search with traditional full-text search and advanced metadata filtering.
• Multi-Modal Ready: Built to work with text, images, and other data types.
• Flexible Deployment: Develop locally for free and seamlessly transition to a fully-managed cloud service as your needs grow.

As a free and open-source tool under the Apache 2.0 license, Chroma is supported by a growing community.
