My understanding is that these vector search databases are generally used by people who want to use an existing AI and extend it with RAG etc. Was anyone ever expecting major AI players to use a tool like this as you are suggesting?

> use an existing AI and extend it with RAG etc

companies like openai will fill the gap by offering such features out of the box. there is no logical reason why and how a big AI tech giant is going to take all hard work and letting someone else to take the profit by ignore the last mile issue. in fact, openai has already released such APIs in their last devday event.

That implies OpenAI wanting to host all your data somewhere in their vector storage.

The real issue is actually Google Cloud or AWS having a vector search solution. Or companies having a Lucene-based search engine or existing DB for vector based search.
