1 points · Open discussion1. You can see the relevant code block here[0]. To summarise, instead of storing the embeddings "next to" the data that you provide, we create a table that can be referenced. This is because often we need to send the LLM some data from the table (like creating a chart). If the LLM sees a reference to `meta.embeddings` then it knows it can "fetch" that data later if it's needed (for RAG etc)
2. We haven't fine-tuned, it's all just detailed prompts which you can find in the code. We might need to fine tune later for local-only models, but for now GPT-4o is solid.

In Postgres.new: In-browser Postgres with an AI interfaceEverything is open source with the exception of the LLM at the moment, which we'll get to. Here are all the tools:
* postgres-new (https://github.com/supabase-community/postgres-new): The frontend. Apache 2.0
* PGlite (https://github.com/electric-sql/pglite): A WASM build of Postgres. Apache 2.0
* pg-gateway (https://github.com/supabase-community/pg-gateway): Postgres wire protocol for the server-side. MIT
* transformers.js (https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js): Run Transformers directly in your browser
In Postgres.new: In-browser Postgres with an AI interfaceThere's not really more info on desktop. That said, it links to https://github.com/supabase-community/postgres-new which has some context
