Milvus Distributed is the cluster mode of the scalable open-source vector database for AI embeddings search, supporting HNSW, IVF, and NGT indexes in high-availability distributed setups. It provides GPU support, billion-scale capacity, real-time upsert/query capabilities, and multi-modal vector handling. Suited for RAG, recommendations, and image/video search at enterprise scale. Self-hosted unlike Pinecone's managed offering, and more ANN-centric than Weaviate.
