Abstract
The disclosure describes artificial intelligence (AI) data platform that utilizes snapshots obtained from a storage node to update a vector database. The AI data platform compares snapshots to generate differential snapshots that identify changed data in storage volumes. The AI data platform uses the differential snapshots to update vector embeddings in a vector database for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows.
