This might be a noob question but what does Lantern have that a normal Postgres dB with pgvector does not? I think Supabase already has a Postgres as a service product with the pgvector extension too.

Second:

>Creating an AI application end to end without leaving your database (example: https://github.com/ezra-varady/lanterndb-semantic-image-sear...)

What does "without leaving your database" mean in this context?

We agree. These functions are already in another repository, and not part of the same extension. The repository is here: https://github.com/lanterndata/lantern_extras
