ah sorry, i should read OP better - chroma's default embedding model is sentence transformers - and we have many other integrated - https://github.com/chroma-core/chroma/blob/main/chromadb/uti...

> It would be wonderful if there were a simpler (single file, SQLite or DuckDB like) database for vectors than the complex (and in some cases, unfortunately cloud-based) ones available now.

This is literally chroma!

Admittedly, I don't know much about chroma, but it seems similar to Qdrant to me. Perhaps I'm missing something. It doesn't appear that it stores everything in 1 singledb file, but rather a plethora of files in some directory. Although it does appear that it runs local, which is a huge plus.
