Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Vector database built for scalable similarity search
As another commenter noted, Milvus is overkill and a "bit much" if you're learning/playing.
A good intro to the field with progression towards a full Milvus implementation could be starting with towhee[0] (which is also supported by Milvus).
towhee has an example to do exactly what you want with CLIP[1].

What Is DocArray?
The description of this is kind of confusing but I think the easiest way to understand it is that it is a data processing pipeline of sorts. Take unstructured data and apply transformation and computation. A similar project to this is Towhee (https://github.com/towhee-io/towhee). This project tries to simplify unstructured data processing and provides pretrained models and pipelines from their hub.

[P] My co-founder and I quit our engineering jobs at AWS to build “Tensor Search”. Here is why.
Milvus also has incredible flexibility when it comes to choosing an indexing strategy, and we also have a library specifically meant to help vectorize a variety of data called Towhee (https://github.com/towhee-io/towhee).

Deep Dive into Real-World Image Search Engine with Python
Benchmarking the models with towhee is as simple as:
-
A quick tip on DataFrame.apply
The project's homepage is https://github.com/towhee-io/towhee, and you can find more about towhee by going through the documents.
-
Build an Image Search Engine in Minutes
I made a tutorial for building an image search engine with python. The code example is as simple as 10 lines of code, using Towhee and Milvus To put images into the search engine:
-
Any good libraries for feature extraction?
Traditionally, I've done this through PyTorch by adding a hook, but this requires knowledge of the model itself (i.e. model arch and layer names). I found https://github.com/Hironsan/awesome-embedding-models but it didn't provide many CV-focused open-source projects. There's also https://github.com/towhee-io/towhee which is great but more targeted towards application development.

Vector Database solutions on AWS
When talking about Vector Databases, in the market we can find the specialized ones and multi-model, most of the major database providers like Oracle, PostgreSQL or MongoDB, for mention some of them, have integrated a specific solution to retrieve vector data.

Using pgvector To Locate Similarities In Enterprise Data
For this example, I wanted to focus on how pgvector – an open-source vector similarity search for Postgres – can be used to identify data similarities that exist in enterprise data.

pgvector vs. pgvecto.rs in 2024: A Comprehensive Comparison for Vector Search in PostgreSQL
pgvector supports dense vector search well, but it does not have plan to support sparse vector.
-
Pg_vectorize: The simplest way to do vector search and RAG on Postgres
There's an issue in the pgvector repo about someone having several ~10-20million row tables and getting acceptable performance with the right hardware and some performance tuning: https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/issues/455
I'm in the early stages of evaluating pgvector myself. but having used pinecone I currently am liking pgvector better because of it being open source. The indexing algorithm is clear, one can understand and modify the parameters. Furthermore the database is postgresql, not a proprietary document store. When the other data in the problem is stored relationally, it is very convenient to have the vectors stored like this as well. And postgresql has good observability and metrics. I think when it comes to flexibility for specialized applications, pgvector seems like the clear winner. But I can definitely see pinecone's appeal if vector search is not a core component of the problem/business, as it is very easy to use and scales very easily

Vector Database and Spring IA
The Spring AI project aims to streamline the development of applications that incorporate artificial intelligence functionality without unnecessary complexity. On this example we use features like: Embedding, Prompts, ETL and save all embedding on PGvector(Postgres Vector database)

pgvector 0.6.0: 30x faster with parallel index builds
pgvector 0.6.0 was just released and will be available on Supabase projects soon. Again, a special shout out to Andrew Kane and everyone else who worked on parallel index builds.

Store embeddings in Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL with pgvector
The pgvector extension adds vector similarity search capabilities to your PostgreSQL database. To use the extension, you have to first create it in your database. You can install the extension, by connecting to your database and running the CREATE EXTENSION command from the psql command prompt:
