### Deep Lake as a Vector Store for LLM Applications

* **Store and search embeddings and their metadata including text, jsons, images, audio, video, and more. Save the data locally, in your cloud, or on Deep Lake storage.**
* **Build LLM Apps using or integrations with** [**LangChain**](https://docs-v3.activeloop.ai/v3.8.27/example-code/tutorials/vector-store/deep-lake-vector-store-in-langchain) **and LlamaIndex**
* **Run computations locally or on our** [**Managed Tensor Database**](https://docs-v3.activeloop.ai/v3.8.27/performance-features/managed-database)

### Deep Lake as a Data Lake For Deep Learning

* **Store images, audios, videos, text and their metadata (i.e. annotations) in a data format optimized for Deep Learning. Save the data locally, in your cloud, or on Activeloop storage.**
* **Rapidly train PyTorch and TensorFlow models while streaming data with no boilerplate code.**
* **Run version control, dataset queries, and distributed workloads using a simple Python API.**
