PostgreSQL with Local Small Language Model and In-Database Vectorization | Azure

PostgreSQL with Local Small Language Model and In-Database Vectorization | Azure

Improve search capabilities for your PostgreSQL-backed applications using vector search and embeddings generated in under 10 milliseconds without sending data outside your PostgreSQL instance. Integrate real-time translation, sentiment analysis, and advanced AI functionalities securely within your database environment with Azure Local AI and Azure AI Service. Combine the Azure Local AI extension with the Azure AI extension to maximize the potential of AI-driven features in your applications, such as semantic search and real-time data translation, all while maintaining data security and efficiency.

Joshua Johnson, Principal Technical PM for Azure Database for PostgreSQL, demonstrates how you can reduce latency and ensure predictable performance by running locally deployed models, making it ideal for highly transactional applications.
