Session: Optimizing vector search in Postgres shouldn’t be this hard 😢
Large-scale LLM applications increasingly rely on efficient nearest neighbor search algorithms, such as Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW) and Inverted File with Flat Indexing (IVFFlat). While these algorithms offer trade-offs between speed, accuracy, and resource utilization, finding the optimal set of hyperparameters remains a challenge.
