> TLDR: We are launching pg_vectorsearch, a new open-source PostgreSQL extension that makes vector search dramatically faster and more cost-efficient. Its new PRISM index uses partitioning and compression instead of HNSW's graph-based approach, delivering faster queries with a fraction of the memory and significantly faster index builds. At 100 million vectors, PRISM achieved 6 ms query latency on a machine with 4× less memory than HNSW, with index builds over 20× faster.

Does it support filtering though?
Edit: post filtering only
I don't understand how people are efficiently implementing tenant/user/permission scopes with these indexes.

Multi-column indexes for multi-tenant tables is planned for a future release.

I'm currently running VectorChord and I love it - with a fast backing disk, it's cut my postgres cost in half. Excited to see competition in low-RAM vector index tools. RAMageddon seems to be creating incentives to find more ways to take advantage of how fast modern nvme drives are!
