Imports - Vector provision options

This video covers options for adding a vector during import.

When importing objects into Weaviate, you can choose to:

  • Provide object vectors to Weaviate,
  • Configure a vectorizer to obtain vectors at import time, or
  • Combine these options to configure a vectorizer while explicitly providing vectors.

This 5-minute video provides an overview of all three workflows, with code examples shown in Python.

Prerequisites​

We recommend that you go through the Quickstart tutorial before watching this video, or to make sure you are familiar with the basic of a schema, import, and query in Weaviate.

Jupyter notebook & data​
