What will you learn?

Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:

  • Deploy and run the Qdrant vector database on Google Cloud C4A Axion processors
  • Generate vector embeddings using transformer models
  • Store and index embeddings efficiently using Qdrant
  • Perform semantic similarity search using vector queries
  • Build a simple chatbot retrieval system powered by vector search

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:

  • A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account with billing enabled
  • Basic familiarity with Python
  • Basic understanding of machine learning embeddings
  • Familiarity with Linux command-line operations
