Fundamental systems, new digital materials:
We're building a very good database,
it might be the last one you'll ever need.

Today we're publicly releasing encoders:
the fastest way to semantically embed text.

Our sing-along video says it all:

Last week, we made semantic search free.

We’ve bested ourselves, again

Some news:

The original benchmark we ran on my m4 pro mac mini resulted in this video, which we thought was impressive:

~12.7 million queries per second is insane yes?

A few optimizations later, encoders now manages to hit ~30.6 million queries per second!

@flowercomputers wait, a sing-along video for text encoders? that’s way more fun than reading a whitepaper.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... floco is building the most interesting stuff

If you think nanosecond-scale text embeddings are cool, wait until you see what’s possible with text embeddings in a hot path database transaction context

As a final note, you can read about encoders and play with a wasm embedding demo or two on our website:

Shoutout to several people who inspired us and helped get this over the finish line in some way or another:

@neeks_at_nite + @jphorism + @tomaarsen + @minishlab + @tulkenss

You can start building with encoders today:

Special thanks to @flowercomputers @cosmos_inst @ellenchisa @readwise @obsdmd for the friendship and for making this possible!

If you’re resonating with Patrick’s description of liquid software, you might find our recent posts on the subject of liquid software, a term we use often, very interesting:

what a time to be into databases

[Niko Lazaris @neeks_at_nite]

the boys @flowercomputers built easily my favorite demo on their new db... minecraft with guns

good piece from Flower on something increasingly important: agent coordination is becoming an infrastructure problem, not just an orchestration problem.

lots of interesting territory opens up from there, especially once coordination starts crossing data and trust boundaries.
