What Hacker News says

I think Supabase generally does good work, but I don't think they can be given credit for pgvector, if that's what you're indicating (I might have misread). As I understand, Andrew Kane is the principal author of pgvector, and has worked on it for almost two years before Supabase added support for it. See also https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/issues/54 and https://github.com/supabase/postgres/pull/472.
In Vector support in PostgreSQL services to power AI-enabled applications
Hey HN, this one has a cool back story with it that shows the power of open source. The author, Greg[0], wanted to use pgvector in a Postgres services, so he created a PR[1] in our Postgres repo. He then reached out and we decided it would be fun to collaborate on a project together, so he helped us build a "ChatGPT" interface for the supabase docs (which we will release tomorrow). This article explains all the steps you'd take to implement the same functionality yourself. I want to give a shout-out to pgvector too, it's a great extension [2] [0] Greg: https://twitter.com/ggrdson [1] pgvector PR: https://github.com/supabase/postgres/pull/472 [2] pgvector: https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector
