From SOTA research Q2 2026.

sqlite-vec (7.4K★) — SQLite extension for vector search. Runs anywhere SQLite runs. No ONNX, no heavy deps. Works in Python via loadable extension.

Perplexity's SovereignStore already uses SQLite+FTS5. Adding sqlite-vec gives us semantic vector search without chromadb's ONNX dependency.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Install sqlite-vec on Mac
  • Test: embed + search with local model embeddings
  • Compare speed and quality vs chromadb
  • Can it run on 2GB VPS (Bezalel)?
