LanceDB
LanceDB
Embedded multimodal vector database on the Lance format.
An open-source retrieval engine for AI built on the Lance columnar format. It runs in-process alongside your app — no separate server — and stores, indexes, and searches vectors, metadata, and multimodal data (text, images, video) with vector, full-text, and SQL queries. A managed enterprise lakehouse tier scales the same engine to petabytes.
Worth knowing
Its CEO co-authored the pandas library; the YC-backed startup counts Midjourney as a customer.
