Weaviate

Weaviate is a cloud-based open source vector database that provides scalable semantic search by storing objects and vectors together. It combines vector similarity search with keyword filtering, RAG and reordering in a single query interface. Through integration models, it can perform automatic vectoring during import, or import the precalculated vector embeddings directly.
