Customers have been asking us to make it easier to automatically generate embeddings on their data in @azurecosmosdb.com So we created this: devblogs.microsoft.com/cosmosdb/emb... This sample shows how to use a Cosmos DB Trigger & Output binding in Functions to do it automatically.

Embeddings are at the heart of how an LLM works. But understanding how they work is hard. To help, I created a simple Python Notebook that takes an array of words and plots them in a 3D graph to show how the compare in a multi-dimensional space. Feel free to check out. github.com/AzureCosmosD...

Notre Dame in Paris re-opens this wkd. I'm a cathedral nerd. Here are some things that you might not notice about it – just from that one photo. THREAD. 1. You can see straight down the nave to the apse. No medieval English cathedral has that.

Performance Tuning for Azure Cosmos DB, Tue, Dec 10, 2024, 10:00 AM | Meetup

Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed database service, freeing developers from database management tasks. However, as a developer, you still have important responsibilities,

I am once again in CDG and ONCE AGAIN something completely stupid is keeping me from making my connection. This time they won't let us leave the jet way after getting off the plane. No explanation given.

Yes everyone should! 🙂

At #ESPC24 @markjbrown.com is showing pretty nicely priced, low-latency vector search of 100M vectors. I'm thinking that price-wise Cosmos DB is looking pretty sharp, so at scale there will come a point where you'll want to evaluate Cosmos against your other vector DBs

Join me today for my session, Build High Perf AI Apps using OpenAI & Cosmos DB Learn how vectors work, query 100B vectors in < 50ms, semantic caching and how to build massively scalable RAG Pattern applications. Today at 17:00 in K2. #ESPC24 www.sharepointeurope.com/events/build...

Made it through CDG. I really dislike this airport but it does smell nice in places.

CDG is the worst airport in the world. Maybe Newark is worse... No, CDG. I'm sure of it.

The one time in my life I had a conversation with Mark (in 2021) at some point I suggested he pay attention to what (then) Twitter was planning with Bluesky (this was super early) and he said "isn't that just vaporware?"

Oh this is awesome. I was running out of Post-it Notes jotting these down 🙂

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

I left #msignite early last week due to a bad wind storm here in Seattle. No power for four days. Lots of down trees. Here's just a few. Many got much worse and still people in my neighborhood without power nearly 6 days later. So inviting some over for dinner and to do laundry.
