support for vector DB FAISS

Created on 7 November 2024, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

I did not see anything on FAISS here yet (facebook ai similarity search).
Read more on https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss.
I think at some point having the vector data on FAISS would also make sense.
Just logging this here to see how big the demand is for this feature.

Proposed resolution

Create a separate module ai_provider_faiss
Implement connector to Faiss vector DB.

+1 for that feature. For larger scale embedding it would be great to have FAISS as it could run locally and the throughput should be much better than calling embedding APIs because of latency - it seems to be one of the fastest embedding technologies currently and also very cost-effective if run locally.
