What it does

A vector database and vector search engine for AI search, semantic retrieval, filtering, and hybrid-search applications.

Why it belongs here

Retrieval infrastructure helps swap bloated prompts for targeted context windows by sending the most relevant chunks first.

Best use case

Production retrieval systems that need vector search, filtering, hybrid retrieval, and control over application-specific context.

How to use it

Index the knowledge base with useful metadata, retrieve narrowly, and track whether smaller context improves cost without hurting answers.

Limits

The database is one layer. Retrieval still needs good ingestion, ranking, permissions, and evaluation.

Route AI agents across models with NVIDIA NeMo Switchyard

NVIDIA shipped NeMo Switchyard, a provider-agnostic SDK that escalates agent steps from cheap models to frontier ones only when a task demands it. LangChain benchmarked it over 145 multi-turn agentic tasks.

The real energy use of agentic AI

Climate scientist Zeke Hausfather metered his own Claude Code habit: 1,138 typed prompts fanned out to more than 14,000 model calls and 3.2 billion tokens in eight weeks, drawing roughly 170 kWh of data-center electricity.
