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.[3][4]
