We really wanted to use sqlite-vec for this for our SSG but last we checked it hadn’t implemented HNSW/had good support for running vector search in-browser yet (I think it was still doing full-table scans?). I was pretty disappointed because after so many months/years, to not have that suggested to me that they weren’t up to task of delivering on their project, and I had recommended them as a worthy project for a grant I had also applied for, that they won and I didn’t.

If anybody knows of a good solution in this space, or if I’m wrong about SQLite-vec, please let me know. For our own SSG we’ve basically decided that we’ll give it a couple months while we work on other infra we want, then if they’re still not done we’ll just do it ourselves.
