A vector is, at its simplest, an ordered list of numbers — and mathematically, an object with both direction and magnitude in some high-dimensional space. In AI almost everything ends up represented as a vector: a word's Embedding might live in 768 or 4096 dimensions, and so does the model's view of an image. Distances and angles between vectors — typically measured by Cosine Similarity or Euclidean distance — let us quantify how 'close' two things are, which is what makes search, recommendations and RAG systems possible. The humble vector you remember from linear algebra is also the universal currency of modern deep learning.
