NVIDIA and AWS announced June 23 that NVIDIA's cuVS library now powers GPU-accelerated vector indexing as the default in Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, claiming up to 10x faster index builds at roughly a quarter the cost versus CPU-only, making billion-scale vector DBs buildable in under an hour (NVIDIA Blog). The same announcement debuts EC2 G7 instances on RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell. For anyone running RAG at scale, index build time has been a real operational tax. This attacks it directly, and "default" means you get it without re-architecting. The retrieval layer keeps getting cheaper, which keeps eroding the case for boutique vector-DB vendors.
