Milvus 2.5 vector database released with GPU acceleration for 10B+ vectors

Milvus 2.5, an open-source vector database from Zilliz, has been released with enhanced capabilities for handling massive datasets. This new version features GPU-accelerated indexing, a distributed architecture, and tiered storage, enabling it to manage up to 10 billion vectors with millisecond latency. The database is designed for scalable similarity search and supports various index types, including those optimized for GPUs via NVIDIA RAFT, significantly speeding up index construction and query throughput. Milvus can be deployed from a simple Docker standalone setup to a production-ready Kubernetes cluster, with its commercial counterpart, Zilliz Cloud, offering a managed service with the same API. AI

IMPACT Accelerates AI applications requiring massive-scale similarity search, particularly in areas like recommendation systems and large-scale embedding management.
