 ### Embeddings
 
-An embedding is a special format of data representation that machine learning models and algorithms can easily use. The embedding is an information dense representation of the semantic meaning of a piece of text. Each embedding is a vector of floating-point numbers, such that the distance between two embeddings in the vector space is correlated with semantic similarity between two inputs in the original format. For example, if two texts are similar, then their vector representations should also be similar. A vector database extension that allows you to store your embeddings with your original data ensures data consistency, scale, and performance.

 ### Vector search
 
-Vector search is a method that helps you find similar items based on their data characteristics rather than by exact matches on a property field. This technique is useful in applications such as searching for similar text, finding related images, making recommendations, or even detecting anomalies. It works by taking the vector representations (lists of numbers) of your data that you created by using a machine learning model by using an embeddings API, such as [Azure OpenAI Embeddings](../ai-services/openai/how-to/embeddings.md) or [Hugging Face on Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/solutions/hugging-face-on-azure). It then measures the distance between the data vectors and your query vector. The data vectors that are closest to your query vector are the ones that are found to be most similar semantically. Using a native vector search feature offers an efficient way to store, index, and search high-dimensional vector data directly alongside other application data. This approach removes the necessity of migrating your data to costlier alternative vector databases and provides a seamless integration of your AI-driven applications.

 ### Tokens
 
-Tokens are small chunks of text generated by splitting the input text into smaller segments. These segments can either be words or groups of characters, varying in length from a single character to an entire word. For instance, the word hamburger would be divided into tokens such as ham, bur, and ger while a short and common word like pear would be considered a single token. LLMs like ChatGPT, GPT-3.5, or GPT-4 break words into tokens for processing.

-The RAG pattern, with prompt engineering, serves the purpose of enhancing response quality by offering more contextual information to the model. RAG enables the model to apply a broader knowledge base by incorporating relevant external sources into the generation process, resulting in more comprehensive and informed responses.
