MongoDB is a source-available cross-platform document-oriented database program. It provides high performance, high availability, and easy scalability. It works on the concept of collections and documents, making it flexible and matching the needs of big data storage and real-time processing.


MongoDB is used in AI and large language models due to its ability to handle huge volumes of data and its support for varying data structures. AI applications often involve processing and analyzing large amounts of data, and MongoDB’s flexibility and performance make it a suitable choice for these applications. The database’s ability to hold different types of data models (key-value, document, columnar and graph) is also highly beneficial in AI, where data can be highly varied and complex.
