This is not always good advice. Many people require to not use off premise models, due to data ownership issues.
I would therefore suggest a better default for this, such as BERT+Qdrant.
It would be wonderful if there were a simpler (single file, SQLite or DuckDB like) database for vectors than the complex (and in some cases, unfortunately cloud-based) ones available now.

Admittedly, I don't know much about chroma, but it seems similar to Qdrant to me. Perhaps I'm missing something.
It doesn't appear that it stores everything in 1 singledb file, but rather a plethora of files in some directory. Although it does appear that it runs local, which is a huge plus.
