Building performant embedding workflows with Chroma and Baseten

This post details the integration of Chroma, an open-source AI application database, with Baseten's inference platform to build AI-native applications like agents, RAG pipelines, and search backends. It highlights how Baseten Embedding Inference (BEI), which offers up to 2x the throughput of previous solutions, can be used with Chroma for both initial data ingestion (speed and cost savings) and real-time query embedding (low-latency). The post provides a practical guide on deploying BEI-optimized embedding models on Baseten and using the Chroma Python SDK with the `BasetenEmbeddingFunction`.
