## Source excerpt

We're pleased to introduce the pgvector extension on Heroku Postgres. In an era where large language models (LLMs) and AI applications are paramount, pgvector provides the essential capability for performing high-dimensional vector similarity searches. This allows Heroku Postgres to quickly find similar data points in complex data, which is great for applications like recommendation systems [...] The post Enhancing Heroku Postgres with pgvector: Generating AI Insights appeared first on Heroku.
