Weaviate

Weaviate is a low-latency vector search engine and vector database that uses machine learning for vectorizing and storing data, and answering natural language queries. The engine facilitates semantic search, classification, question-answer-extraction, customizable models, and more. It supports different media types such as images, texts, etc.

Weaviate has been developed in the Go language, supporting vectors and objects so that engineers can combine vector search and structured filtering. Access is available through REST, GraphQL, and other languages.
