Most vector databases treat retrieval as a single operation. That's the wrong abstraction.
Storing embeddings and returning nearest neighbors is a solved problem. The hard problem is what happens next. We solve it through composable vector search, built in Rust.
Today, led by AVP, with Bosch Ventures, Unusual Ventures, Spark Capital, and 42CAP, we're announcing our $50M Series B to accelerate it.

Video is the most information-dense modality we have, and most retrieval pipelines treat it like text with pictures.
James Le from @twelve_labs is coming to Vector Space Day to show what's actually possible when you build multimodal retrieval right, from semantic search across sports and audio to agentic workflows that handle object tracking and highlight generation at scale.
If you're curious where vector search is heading, this is a session worth being in the room for. Join us at The Midway: https://t.co/a190CwvDud

Most in-car media systems still expect you to search with keywords.
But when you’re driving, you don’t think in keywords - you think in moods, vibes, and intent.
This project by Sarvesh Talele, built with Qdrant Edge, creates a fully local AI-powered media discovery system that lets users search music semantically through voice, text, and mood-based queries.
What’s interesting:
→ Local voice transcription with Whisper
→ Semantic retrieval with vector embeddings
→ On-device vector search using Qdrant Edge
→ No cloud dependency required
A great example of how vector search can power privacy-first, real-time experiences directly on-device.

Tweaking chunk sizes and running a few demo queries is not an evaluation strategy.
Laurie Voss (Head of DevRel, @arizeai) is coming to Vector Space Day on June 11 to replace vibes with measurement: the retrieval metrics that matter, golden datasets that survive contact with reality, and how to wire evals into CI so you find out about regressions before your customers do.

See you in Berlin 🙌
About 90% of enterprise data is unstructured, and most of it lives in documents. PDFs, spreadsheets, Word files, the stuff that runs businesses. Preston Carlson from @llama_index is coming to Vector Space Day to talk about why even frontier models struggle with real-world documents, and what better OCR and agent harnesses actually unlock.

We’re hosting Vector Space Meetup: Retrieval in the Age of Agents on June 11.
RAG is the architectural foundation of production AI, and retrieval has fundamentally changed over time. Agents don’t just retrieve anymore - they decide when to search, what to search for, and whether results are good enough to act on.
We’re gathering builders shaping this shift: @cognee_, @n8n_io, @deepset_ai, and @llama_index for a panel driven entirely by YOUR questions.
You’ll also hear from Qdrant’s Co-Founder & CTO, @generall931, who will join for open discussions and networking with attendees.
Join us! Register (approval required): https://t.co/BnEdTYQBkr
Building an AI agent is one thing. Building one that's intelligent, reliable, and actually ready for an enterprise environment is a different problem entirely.
Gabriel Lebow from @Vultr is coming to Vector Space Day to frame the key architectural ideas behind production-ready agentic AI: how scalable systems support context-aware reasoning, handle real-time decision-making, and hold up when the stakes are real.

Today we're announcing Aman as our exclusive partner in Israel.
Israeli enterprise teams (in banking, insurance, manufacturing, gaming, and beyond) are building production AI on top of search infrastructure that wasn't designed for it.
Qdrant is purpose-built for that next stage: a composable vector search engine written in Rust, with predictable low-tail latency at billion-scale across cloud, on-prem, hybrid, and edge.
Java-based engines, Postgres solutions, and vector add-ons can't deliver the latency or accuracy that modern agentic and RAG workloads need.
Aman brings 25+ years of experience modernizing data infrastructure for Israeli enterprises. Pairing their reach and local expertise with Qdrant's engine gives Israeli teams a faster path from "this isn't working" to production AI that performs.
If you're evaluating vector search in Israel, talk to Aman: https://t.co/AOyf6LaS3R
Vectors tell you what's similar. They don't tell you what's connected. Stephen Chin (VP of Developer Relations, @neo4j) is coming to Vector Space Day to talk about how context graphs give agents the relational understanding they need to actually reason, not just retrieve.

Paige Bailey from @GoogleDeepMind has a question for anyone building agents: why are humans still writing static markdown files to tell your agent what it can do?
She's coming to Vector Space Day to make the case that SKILLS.md is a transitional phase, and to talk about what replaces it.
If you're building production agents, this one's for you. June 11 at The Midway, SF. Get your ticket at https://t.co/a190Cwv5EF
Most teams think continual learning is a training problem. Taranjeet Singh from @mem0ai thinks they're solving the wrong thing. At Vector Space Day on June 11, he'll show how giving agents better memory, not better gradients, is what actually makes them improve over time in production.
Vector Space Day is a full-day conference for engineers going deep on vector search, retrieval, and agent memory. Join us in San Francisco.

Most people pay for insurance and barely understand what it covers. The pamphlet is dense, the insurer’s website is complex, and finding an in-network provider with availability takes more energy than most patients have.
@SunnyHealthAI is building a healthcare concierge that insurance companies and care providers offer to their members. Members sign in through their payer, the platform already knows their plan and benefits, and a chat experience helps them find in-network providers and book real appointments through an AI voice agent.
The retrieval engine underneath is Qdrant. @SunnyHealthAI migrated from Postgres because the schema rigidity slowed every new metadata field they wanted to add, and fuzzy matching couldn’t handle precise patient queries. They needed hybrid search (must-filters expressed alongside semantic ranking), first-class geo re-ranking, and a flexible payload model for deeply nested provider records.
That same retrieval layer now powers patient search and the AI voice agent that books appointments on patients’ behalf.
Read how they built it:
