The model never sees the whole collection. For each question the app finds the few passages that matter and hands only those to the model, which is what retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) means. LlamaIndex is the default framework and is built around that job, with loaders for files and APIs, parsers that split documents into chunks, indexes, and query engines that tie retrieval to a model. LangChain is the alternative when retrieval is one part of a wider agent.\n\nTwo steps run before any question arrives. **Ingestion** reads each document, cuts it into chunks, turns every chunk into an embedding (a list of numbers that places its meaning in space), and writes the result to the vector store. PostgreSQL with the pgvector extension is the default store, and Qdrant, Pinecone, or Chroma take over when the collection or the search load outgrows it. Scanned files and complex tables are the hard part, and LlamaIndex's own LlamaParse service handles them at a per-page price.\n\nAt question time, FastAPI **embeds the question, searches the store, and streams the answer** with the passages it used, so a reader can check the source. Metadata filters keep each user or customer inside their own documents, and hybrid search mixes keyword matching with meaning when exact terms such as product codes matter.\n\nTwo models are involved, not one: a language model that writes the answer, and an embedding model that builds the index. Anthropic offers no embedding model, so Claude is paired with another provider's embeddings such as Voyage AI, OpenAI, or Gemini, and **changing the embedding model later means re-embedding every document**.

I need a vector database, or is PostgreSQL with pgvector enough?","Start with pgvector. It keeps the vectors, the document records, and your access rules in one database with one backup, and with an HNSW index it searches millions of chunks quickly. Filtering is where it needs care: a query that filters on a column and searches vectors can return fewer results than asked for, and splitting a table per tenant is pgvector's own advice for multi-tenant apps. Move to Qdrant when the collection reaches tens of millions of chunks, when you filter heavily at high query rates, or when search load slows the rest of the application. Pinecone is the same step with nothing to operate, and Chroma is the one to try in an afternoon. Because LlamaIndex talks to all four through the same interface, moving later means re-running ingestion, not rewriting the app.",{"question":1354,"answer":1355},"Should I use LlamaIndex or LangChain for retrieval?","For an app whose main job is answering from documents, LlamaIndex is the shorter path: loaders, chunking, ingestion pipelines that skip unchanged files, and query engines are part of it. LangChain fits when retrieval is one step in a wider agent that also calls tools, or when the team already knows it and wants LangSmith tracing. The two are not exclusive: a LlamaIndex query engine can be wrapped as a tool inside a LangChain or [LangGraph](\u002Ftools\u002Flanggraph) agent. Switching means rewriting the pipeline code, but the stored vectors stay valid if you keep the same embedding model, and the API, database, and host do not change.",{"question":1357,"answer":1358},"Which embedding model should I use, and can I change it later?","The embedding model decides how well a question finds the right passage, and it is separate from the model that writes the answer. Claude has no embedding model of its own, so pair it with Voyage AI, which Anthropic recommends, or with OpenAI or Gemini. Gemini Embedding 2 is free on its free tier and $0.20 per million tokens after that, and an open model through Ollama or Hugging Face costs nothing per token but needs hardware. Choose carefully: vectors from different models cannot be compared, so changing the model means re-embedding every document, and long vectors above 2,000 dimensions need shortening to be indexed by pgvector. Test two models on twenty real questions before indexing the full collection.",{"question":1360,"answer":1361},"What does a RAG app cost to run, and how do I keep it down?","There are two bills. Indexing is a one-off charge per document: its tokens go through the embedding model once, and again only when the file changes, which an ingestion pipeline that skips unchanged files keeps small. Questions are the recurring cost, because every answer sends the retrieved passages to the model along with the question, so a longer context costs more on each call. Retrieving fewer, better chunks, adding a reranker, and sending simple questions to a small model cut it most. Parsing scanned documents with LlamaParse adds a per-page charge. The Pricing section has the per-token rates.",{"question":1363,"answer":1364},"How is this different from the Python AI Agent stack?","[Python AI Agent](\u002Fstacks\u002Fpython-ai-agent) is built around an agent loop: a model decides which tool to call next, and run state is saved so a run can pause and resume. This stack is built around retrieval: documents go in through an ingestion pipeline, and each question follows one path of search, then answer. That is why the vector store is a decision to make up front here and an extra you can skip there. Choose this one for search and question answering over a document collection. Choose Python AI Agent when the model has to take actions, and add retrieval to it later. The two combine: a LlamaIndex query engine can be one of the tools an agent calls, and both stacks share FastAPI and PostgreSQL.",{"summary":1366,"starting_cost_label":1367,"has_free_tier":3,"line_items":1368},"LlamaIndex, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL with pgvector are open source and free. A small always-on server with its database costs roughly $5 to $15 a month on a container platform or a VPS.
