Vector Stores#

Vector stores contain embedding vectors of ingested document chunks (and sometimes the document chunks as well).

Simple Vector Store#

By default, LlamaIndex uses a simple in-memory vector store that's great for quick experimentation. They can be persisted to (and loaded from) disk by calling vector_store.persist() (and SimpleVectorStore.from_persist_path(...) respectively).

Vector Store Options & Feature Support#

LlamaIndex supports over 20 different vector store options. We are actively adding more integrations and improving feature coverage for each.
