How do you feed a 500,000-word novel to an AI? You can't. Not all at once, anyway. This is where 𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 comes in. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴? Chunking is the pre-processing step of splitting texts into smaller pieces of texts, i.e. "chunks". Each chunk becomes the…
vLLM is finally supporting our multi-modal reranker jina-reranker-m0 huggingface.co/jinaai/jina-re… This is neat!
Multi-vector embeddings sound complex—multiple models, extra infrastructure, right? But there's a simpler, elegant solution hiding in plain sight. Named vectors let you store multiple vector embeddings per object, then search using any of those vector spaces. Think of it as…

Vibe Smell testing results: Qwen 3 Coder is the real deal. First open model I'm impressed with for coding. Worthy competition to the leading closed models. Feels like a watershed moment. (tested via opencode + openrouter).

Skincare recs are broken. We fixed them. If you’ve ever tried to build a routine and ended up with irritation, confusion, or ten tabs of conflicting advice… well, then you know the struggle. Too many apps give you generic recs based on bestsellers, vague “skin types,” or…
Building a product with your own product? Why? Because we can, and we just did! 😮💨 Boom here it is - our skincare recommendation app that is actually working and might be the best one on the market - and we just built it easily from scratch with Weaviate - learn here how we did…
