## The Hook

sqlite-vec puts vector search inside SQLite without another database.

## What's Good

Apache-2.0. Load as a SQLite extension; vectors beside relational data.

## The Catch

Extension load path and platform wheels need care. Distinct from Chroma/LanceDB stores and libSQL fork.

## Verdict

Apache-2.0 vectors-in-SQLite. Free forever.
