Common questions
Is Chroma free to use?
Chroma is open source and free to run yourself. You still pay whichever model provider you point it at, and this tutorial is free with no signup.
Do I need to know Python to use Chroma?
Basic Python is enough. Functions, dictionaries and imports cover most of what Chroma asks of you.
When should I not use Chroma?
When something else in vector database fits the job better. The others in that group are listed below.
Lessons for Chroma are being written. Meanwhile the APIs for AI tutorial covers the same ground: state, tools, loops, memory and human approval. Most of it carries straight over.
