Pgvector – vector similarity search for Postgres
I have been using Smlar for a while for cosine similarity. Might this project provide a viable alternative? Smlar can be quite slow

Pinecone raises $100M Series B
Why do you use pgvector instead of pgANN? My understanding is pgANN is built with FAISS. When I compared pgvector with FAISS, pgvector was 3-5x slower.

Pgvector – vector similarity search for Postgres
Love it! Need better ANNs approaches in databases, using external servers such as Milvus, faiss is a pita
