Vectors, embeddings, vector search — confused?
Vector: a concept represented as a list of numbers: coordinates on a map of meaning. "Cat" and "kitten" cluster together. "Skyscraper" doesn't.
Embedding: turning something into that vector, across words, sentences and languages.
Vector search database: search by meaning, not just keywords.
