What is the benefit of tuning HNSW parameters?

Tuning parameters like M and efSearch allows you to find the 'sweet spot' between search speed and recall accuracy, ensuring your AI application provides relevant results within your latency budget.

How do I measure the success of vector index tuning?

Success is measured by benchmarking Recall@K against search latency (ms) and memory footprint (GB), aiming to maximize recall while staying under specific latency and budget thresholds.

When should I use quantization for my vectors?

Quantization is recommended when you need to reduce memory usage or storage costs, particularly when scaling beyond 1 million vectors or when using high-dimensional embeddings.

Does this skill work with specific vector databases?

Yes, it provides specific optimization templates for Qdrant and general implementation logic applicable to HNSWlib, Pinecone, Milvus, and Weaviate.
