Show HN: TinkerBird – A Chrome-native vector database


Chrome Native Vector Database. Contribute to wizenheimer/tinkerbird development by creating an account on GitHub.

Its query engine, written in TypeScript, leverages HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) indexes for fast vector retrieval. One significant challenge facing large language models (LLMs) is their tendency to generate syntactically correct but factually inaccurate responses, a phenomenon known as hallucination. With Tinkerbird, sensitive data remains local, thus benefiting from vector search, without the associated compliance and security risks.
