I totally agree and hnswlib is actually much faster than FAISS on CPU.
I'm really happy to see `hnswlib` as a Python dependency since I'm the one who implemented PyPI support: https://github.com/nmslib/hnswlib/pull/140 https://github.com/nmslib/hnswlib/pull/140
- fzysingularity 4y agoInteresting - is there a good reference to back this claim? Curious to hear what overheads Faiss would have if it's configured with similar parameters to build the HNSW graphs. Is that what you A/B-tested in practice?
- wskish 4y agohttp://ann-benchmarks.com http://ann-benchmarks.com hnswlib implementation of hnsw is faster than faiss's implementation. Faiss has other index methods that are faster in some cases, but more complex as well.
- wskish 4y agoThank you for this! This project is really hnswlib-sqlite just shortened into hns(w)qlite.
