Overview
Research summary
Chroma provides collections that hold vector embeddings, documents and metadata for similarity search. Clients can supply their own vectors or use embedding integrations, then retrieve results with metadata and document filters. Its Python API supports in-process prototyping and persistent usage, while client-server deployment separates the database from the application. The repository is Apache-2.0 licensed. Chroma Cloud is a separate hosted service whose serverless search capabilities and operational guarantees should not automatically be assumed for every local open-source deployment.
