Public story · 2026-02-16 · source-backed
Alibaba open-sourced an in-process vector database that searches billions of vectors in milliseconds with zero external dependencies. 8,000+ QPS, dense/sparse/hybrid search. +1,094 stars in a single day. This is significant because it eliminates the need for Pinecone, Qdrant, or Weaviate in many use cases — just embed zvec in your application. The "SQLite of vector DBs" positioning is accurate and compelling. GitHub
