Hmmm. Does pgvector count? That's supported by NeonDB, serverless compute on PostgreSQL.

(Neon CEO) It’s about to get a lot better too. Pgvector now supports multi-threaded build

Another very significant contribution to the pg ecosystem. You guys are awesome, thank you for everything you're doing.

Lol rare collaboration between neon, AWS, and supabase.

But if Postgres wins we all win!

By "edge", I was talking about mobile / IOT devices.

The closest I can see is the VSS extension[1] for Sqlite.

Incorrect, most of the libraries can run on edge, they're just C++.

What is the use case for this?

Running machine learning on device.

Context: I'm working on an e2ee alternative to Google Photos[1] where we have to cluster embeddings (for face recognition) and run similarity searches (for semantic search[2]) on device.

hnswlib?

From a cursory glance, usearch[1] seems more portable.

Neat!
