Getting Started with GenAI Using CockroachDB
Information today is generated and consumed in unprecedented magnitudes. With every click, swipe, and transaction, massive amounts of data are collected, waiting to be harnessed for insights, decision-making, and innovation. Today, more than 80% of the data that organizations generate is unstructured – and the amount of this data type will only grow in the coming decades.
