Embeddings
Numeric vector representations of text (or other content) used for semantic retrieval.

Embeddings turn passages into vectors that can be searched by meaning rather than keyword. In a Private RAG architecture, the embedding store is sensitive — it contains a representation of internal documents — and is one of the first places enterprises ask “where does this live?”. See Embeddings and Private RAG.
