FAQPage Schema

How do I reduce vector database memory usage for large-scale embeddings?▼

Accelerate vector search speed using HNSW indexing and in-memory caching. This combination provides up to 12,500x faster search speeds, ensuring real-time retrieval for user-facing applications.

What is the best way to tune HNSW parameters for AgentDB?▼

Benchmark AgentDB performance by running the comprehensive performance benchmarking tool. This evaluates memory reduction through quantization and speed improvements from HNSW indexing and caching.

Does binary quantization affect vector search accuracy in AgentDB?▼

Binary quantization reduces memory usage by converting vectors into binary representations. While it achieves significant memory savings, it is designed to maintain efficient search performance when combined with HNSW indexing and in-memory caching.

Why is my AgentDB vector search slow with millions of records?▼

AgentDB vector search slows down with millions of records due to high memory consumption and lack of optimized indexing. Implementing HNSW indexing, in-memory caching, and quantization addresses these bottlenecks for faster retrieval.
