Emoji search without embeddings: pgvector latency questions for a lightweight API
paul_cal · x · 2026-09-27
Developer maxleiter showed you don't need embeddings (Jev) for good emoji search, sharing an implementation. paulcal followed up on the engineering details: if the API uses pgvector, does it rely on saved embeddings, and what's the ms-per-request latency without cached vectors — a potential Jev alternative for some, though not all, use cases.
