Show HN: OctaneDB – Fast, Open-Source Vector Database for Python

https://github.com/RijinRaju/octanedb
24•rijin_r•3h ago
OctaneDB is an open-source vector database for Python that focuses on ultra-fast similarity search for high-dimensional data—perfect for AI/ML, semantic search, and large-scale document or embedding retrieval.

What does it do?

Store, index, and search millions of embeddings (text, images, etc.) with sub-millisecond query time.

Supports in-memory and efficient HDF5 persistent storage.

Integrates seamlessly with sentence-transformers for automatic text embedding.

Key Features:

10x faster than Pinecone or ChromaDB for vector search and batch insertions.

Advanced indexing: HNSW (approximate nearest neighbor), FlatIndex

Batch search, advanced metadata filtering, GPU acceleration

Please stop with these LLM generated readme files. It burns the eyes.

Just take 10 minutes to write something that explains the project.

As soon as I see this README I assume the code is generated(worthless) as well

Someone even wiser once said:

- Don’t give your book a shit cover because it will put people off.

Looking at the repo, everything seems too clean and pristine. There's only 5 commits. Not that it matters, but was the whole thing vibe coded? If so, I wonder if mentioning this in the Readme would be helpful to potential users.
JSR_FDED•1h ago
This looks very good, easy to understand. Do you have a sense for how much RAM it uses (not for storing the vectors themselves - those I’ll keep in a file), but when doing a search? I have one use case where it could run on a VPS provided its memory use doesn’t balloon too much.
icemanx•12m ago
Definitely vibe code, and I agree with the others - please mention it in the README if you want people to use AI generated code. You are not the mind behind it

Update: Looking through your code, I already found within 5 minute flaws, since it is obvious that you have not written it (looking at your past work, I doubt you even understand what it does), I will not even point the issues out.
