Vespa.ai with Jon Bratseth

Machine Learning Archives - Software Engineering Daily

Vespa is a fully featured search engine and vector database, and it has integrated ML model inference. The project open sourced in 2017, and since then has grown to become a prominent platform for applying AI to big data sets at serving time.

Vespa began as a project to solve Yahoo’s use cases in search, recommendation, and ad serving. The company made headlines in October when they announced they’re spinning Vespa.ai out of Yahoo as a separate company.

Jon Bratseth is the CEO at Vespa and he joins the show to talk about large language models, retrieval augmented generation, or RAG, vector database engineering, and more.
