0.2.0
This is a major release
This release contains major algorithmic improvements to make the index much more performant. The (now default) SBQ mode allows for very fast retrieval over a compressed index. Please see the accompanying benchmark posts for more information.
- improved DiskANN algorithm including better stopping criteria and other algorithmic changes
- A new quantization algorithm called Statistical Binary Quantization (SBQ) for improved accuracy on quantized retrieval. This is SOTA for binary quantization.
- Rescoring as part of index retrieval -- which greatly improves accuracy for partitioned tables.
- Deprecating PQ
- New extension name
