Vectors are the fundamental way AI models understand and process information. Small vectors describe simple attributes, such as a point in a graph, while “high-dimensional” vectors capture complex information such as the features of an image, the meaning of a word, or the properties of a dataset. High-dimensional vectors are incredibly powerful, but they also consume vast amounts of memory, leading to bottlenecks in the key-value cache, a high-speed "digital cheat sheet" that stores frequentl...
