Validate activity before betting a new project on wikipedia2vec. - Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate. ## When NOT to use ChatGLM-6B - Last GitHub push was 745 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 27, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on ChatGLM-6B. - Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between wikipedia2vec and ChatGLM-6B? wikipedia2vec: A tool for learning vector representations of words and entities from Wikipedia.
