Bit of self-promotion, but Milvus (https://milvus.io https://milvus.io) is another open-source vector database option as well (I have a pretty good idea as to why it isn't listed in a16z's blog post). We also have milvus-lite, a pip-installable package that uses the same API, for folks who don't want to stand up a local service.
pip install milvus
Other than that, it's great to see the shout-out for Vespa.
- baner2022 3y agoAppreciate sharing, will try Milvus Vector database space is the Wild West, keep at it
- fzliu 3y agoHell yeah! Feel free to reach out if you need any help.
- tartakovsky 3y agoWhy do you not think it’s featured? Has a16z funded many of those companies, lol? And somehow, rejected milvus?
- SheepHerdr 3y agoThe guys at Milvus raised a total of $113M according to Crunchbase, second only to Pinecone, which is funded by a16z. You're not going to highlight the main competitor of one of your portfolio companies.
- gk1 3y agoThe post mentions six alternatives to Pinecone. The reality is Milvus isn't as relevant today as it was a year ago. I'm from Pinecone but I'll give credit where it's due: Weaviate, Chroma, and Qdrant completely lapped Milvus in the open-source space. That's why they got mentioned and Milvus didn't.
