Yottaanswers came about as an effort to build a scalable AI vector search engine capable of billions of direct answers to questions, with no ads nor tracking.
The question of how many direct answers Google is currently capable of (e.g. 'how high is mount everest') is of particular interest as that number IMO is not nearly as high as many think. My (professional) estimate is 10-30 billion. To be clear, by direct answers I mean distinct infoboxes with clearly distinguished direct answers as opposed to blue links with snippets matching keywords from the query. I certainly invite all feedback on this question and the number above as Google keeps it as a closely guarded secret.
Yottaanswers is in that respect very large, containing billions of vectors and continuing to grow. Considering the power law of distribution of questions and answers, Yottaanswers already has a significant chunk of the fat head of the distribution (about 15% of the questions generating 85% of the answers).
Of course, a key goal has always been to demonstrate that building such a system with no tracking nor ads is very much possible with resources (many) orders of magnitude fewer than Google.
