High-Performance Engine for Multi-Vector Search

68
/ 100
Established

Implements per-token late interaction search via K-means-clustered centroid indexing, enabling fine-grained token-level similarity matching instead of single fixed-size embeddings. Written in Rust with GPU acceleration and exposed through PyO₃ bindings for seamless PyTorch integration. Supports dynamic index updates with automatic centroid expansion, metadata filtering via document subsets, and token-level similarity matrices for models like ColBERT and ColPali.
