The Hidden Cost of Embeddings in RAG and how to Fix it

Embeddings are crucial for a production-ready RAG system but often get overlooked. I cover the costs, storage considerations, and ways to reduce storage requirements using techniques like dimensionality reduction and quantization. Learn how these methods can improve speed and save costs without compromising too much on performance.
