Introducing the vector engine for Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, now in preview

AWS Big Data

The vector engine supports the popular distance metrics such as Euclidean, cosine similarity, and dot product, and can accommodate 16,000 dimensions, making it well-suited to support a wide range of foundational and other AI/ML models. To create the vector index, you must define the vector field name, dimensions, and the distance metric.
