Zilliz's Milvus
Vector database for AI applications
Zilliz's Milvus is an open source vector database that specializes in similarity search and machine learning tasks. It provides a platform for storing, managing, and searching large-scale high-dimensional data, such as images, videos, and speech signals. Milvus is built on top of the open source project Faiss and offers an efficient and scalable solution to perform similarity searches on very large datasets. Milvus is designed to be easy to use, with a simple RESTful API and SDKs available in multiple programming languages. It provides a range of features to support high-performance similarity search, including indexing, searching, and storing large-scale vectors. Milvus also includes support for GPU acceleration, which can significantly speed up the computation of similarity queries. Milvus has been used in a variety of applications, including image and video search, natural language processing, recommendation systems, and anomaly detection. The project is maintained by Zilliz, a startup that specializes in developing open source software for data analysis and AI. Milvus is released under the Apache 2.0 license and is freely available for anyone to use and contribute to.
