Do you mention nimble and lance for AI use case in general or because your use case is primary indexing video/audio/image content for a wider AI project (but it could have been something else) ?

I’m not very clear on this, could you precise ?

Yes, my initial use case was to have a format that makes it possible to store large blobs together with other attributes, which is often the case for GenAI projects and where Parquet struggles the most.

Thanks for the precision and your prompt answer !

I just heard about LanceDB in last week Trino Fest, the idea seems solid, let's see how far it goes. Parquet is now all over the place, but video/audio content I'd give a try. Thanks for sharing 🄰

Hi Andrea, yes Lance format is still in its early stage :) It's indeed very compeling to have image + metadata/attributes in one single place :)
