What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
GA in an LTS release with concrete compression/latency gains and billion-vector scale demonstrated, but documented unsuitability for high-QPS serving and notable build overhead require workload-fit guardrails.
Next
Use for large-scale analytical vector search co-located with metadata; benchmark recall vs latency with bf16/binary quantization and avoid for high-QPS low-latency serving paths.
