That's what they're trying to incentivize, especically with being able to upload files for their own implementation of RAG. You're not getting the vector representation of those files back, and switching to another provider will require rebuilding and testing that infrastructure.
- goosinmouse 3y agoThats exactly what i thought. Smart strategy on OpenAI's part given that its extremely easy (and free) to do RAG with pgvector.
- nostrebored 3y agoIt's neither free nor performant. The developer experience is lacking vs. other vector database providers and the performance doesn't match those that prioritize performance rather than devex. You're also spending time writing plumbing around postgres that isn't really transferrable work. For some people already in the ecosystem it will make sense.
