CommunityToolkit.VectorData.Chroma
Chroma provider for Microsoft.Extensions.VectorData, by the .NET Community Toolkit.
Chroma is an open-source vector database for AI applications.
The provider is built on ChromaDotNet.Client, a .NET client for Chroma and Chroma Cloud.
Quick start
- Run Chroma with Docker:
docker run -d --name chroma -p 8000:8000 chromadb/chroma
- Install the NuGet package:
dotnet add package CommunityToolkit.VectorData.Chroma
For more information, see the Microsoft.Extensions.VectorData documentation.
Limitations
- On Chroma Cloud, a vector search returns at most 300 results,
Skipincluded, the default quota of Chroma Cloud: beyond that, Chroma Cloud answers with a quota error. - Chroma does not store empty lists, so an empty array or list comes back as
null. - Array and list properties, like the namespaces of the
TextSearchStoreof Semantic Kernel, need Chroma 1.5.0 or later.
