zilliztech/knowhere
Vector search engine inside Milvus, integrating FAISS, HNSW, DiskANN.
Provides pluggable vector index implementations with GPU acceleration via cuVS, exposing both C++ and Python APIs for flexible integration beyond Milvus. Built in C++ with support for CPU and GPU-accelerated indexing, offering a standalone library architecture that decouples vector search capabilities from the broader database ecosystem.
