This talk explains how OpenSearch has evolved into a vector database for AI applications, supporting embeddings from text, images and audio. It covers the basics of vector databases (storing meaning as mathematical vectors) and similarity search techniques such as k-nearest neighbors, and shows concrete use cases enabled by this approach: semantic search, recommendation engines and visual search.
