Semantic search with only 5 lines of code

FreeAIDBDevOps16,699 impressions#21 of its week

Semantic search on client with 5 lines of code, embeddings included. We use an embedding model that outperforms OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002 and can compute embeddings without any issues even in an apple watch! Pay no one to get started, if u scale pay 10-20x less to compute/store/search 1M embedding with our API.

Client Vector Search provides client-side semantic search with embeddings in just five lines of code.

for
JavaScript/TypeScript developers needing fast, low-latency vector search in the browser or edge devices.

  • On-device embeddings — Compute embeddings locally, outperforming OpenAI's ada-002 model, even on an Apple Watch.
  • Fast vector index — Search up to 100 K vectors in under 100 ms without network latency.
  • Scalable API — Optional API lets you embed, store, and search up to 10 M vectors for $20 /mo.
  • Persistable indexes — Save created EmbeddingIndex objects and reuse them across sessions.
  • Playground demo — Interactive UI to test embedding speed and search against a Wikipedia dataset.

Use cases

  • Add instant semantic search to a client-side web app
  • Enable offline recommendation or similarity lookup on edge devices
  • Build fast, low-cost search for small to medium datasets without server infrastructure

Client Vector Search FAQ

Do I need a backend to use Client Vector Search?+

No, the library runs entirely in the browser or any JavaScript runtime; a backend is only needed for the optional scaling API.

What embedding model is used?+

It uses a proprietary model that the provider states outperforms OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002.

How many vectors can I store locally?+

Up to 100 K vectors can be indexed and searched locally with sub-100 ms latency.

What are the costs for larger datasets?+

The paid API plan costs $20 per month and supports up to 10 M vectors for embedding, storage, and search.

Can I run this on low-power devices?+

Yes, the embeddings can be computed on devices like an Apple Watch.
