USearch v3 is ready for a design-partner preview!
3 years ago, I released USearch v2. It became my first widely deployed piece of software.
It grew to over 4’000 GitHub stars, a number unimaginable to me back then. Together with my complementary projects, that’s 17’000 stars today. The open-source infrastructure behemoths shipping these libraries by default, like ClickHouse & ScyllaDB, collectively account for over 550’000 stars. Almost 800’000 including opt-in integrations 🤯
Thank you to everyone who shipped, starred, or argued with this code! I know I can be slow to respond, and I appreciate your patience.
With help from AI agents, compute from neocloud partners and a lot of user feedback, USearch v3 finally has a release candidate. Only 1’000 days of work later 🫠
USearch v3 stays open-source, Apache 2.0, free for everyone, from open-source giants to neolabs, hyperscalers, government agencies, & even mobile publishers!
Still, I’ve seen many times how paying for an integrated software experience can work better and cost less than getting the software for free — and be in everyone’s best interest. So I want to take a page from ClickHouse and Databricks, two organizations that reshaped commercial analytics infrastructure over the past decade by building businesses around open-source foundations.
I want to do the same for Search: keep the infrastructure open and productize the experience around it.
Before putting a major breaking release on “main” branch and launching an integrated offering around it, I want to make the transition as smooth as possible for my users.
So I’m inviting a few design partners to join me in final benchmarking and help shape the UX and C ABI before the public release. Your workloads should have a say in what ships.
I have no doubt USearch v3 will be a “scale unlocker” for many organizations reliant on Search. With a little creativity and collaboration, it can become a “capability unlocker” as well.
If you’re working at a frontier intelligence lab, in autonomous driving, or in life sciences, and managing 100+ TB of data, DM me with a brief description of your workload. I’d love to collaborate!
