Vectors are over, hashes are the future
Hashes are fine, but to say that "vectors are over" is just plain nonsense. We continue to see vectors as a core part of production systems for entity representation and recommendation (example: https://slack.engineering/recommend-api) and within models themselves (example: multimodal and diffusion models). For folks into metrics, we're building a vector database specifically for storing, indexing, and searching across massive quantities of vectors (https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus), and we've seen close to exponential growth in terms of total downloads.Vectors are just getting started.
