Allen and Mark revisit a conversation from episode 146 where they discovered Google had a Vector Database. Now, several months later, Allen has done some work with the Google Cloud Vertex AI Matching Engine and incorporated it into LangChain JS. We discuss why this is important, and how it fits into the overall landscape of LLMs and MLs today. (And Allen has a little announcement towards the end.)
