Chroma or ChromaDB is open-source data infrastructure tailored to applications with large language models.
Its headquarters are in San Francisco. In April 2023, it raised 18 million US dollars as seed funding.2
ChromaDB has been used in academic studies on artificial intelligence, particularly as part of the tech stack for retrieval-augmented generation.34
