      • 别再只会装 RAG 框架——召回不稳,先查底层向量库。这 6 个开源项目够用: 1 → Milvus(约 4.7 万星 · Apache) 大规模分布式向量检索,生产级 RAG 底座 2 → Qdrant(约 3.5 万星 · Apache) 过滤/payload 强,带条件的语义检索更稳

      • 把向量相似度搜索做成一套 C++/Python 索引库,用 IVF、PQ 和 GPU kernel 在十亿级 embedding 里做近邻检索 Faiss 的索引不是单一路径:Flat 负责精确暴力搜索,IVF 先用 coarse quantizer 把向量分到倒排桶,查询时只扫部分桶。PQ 把高维向量切成多个子空间,用码本把浮点向量压成短 code,在内存占用和召回率之间做取舍。 GPU…
