The Memory Efficient Indexing for Vector Databases
summary
Claims a working vector streaming pipeline that parallelizes parsing, semantic chunking, embedding generation and upserts so embeddings never accumulate in RAM; benchmarks run hundreds of times and the project hits 100,000 downloads and 300+ stars. Implementation uses Rust + Candle + ONNX, removes a torch dependency, exposes Python bindings, offers GPU and non‑GPU modes, adapters for Pinecone Weavaite and Elastic, demos show page‑by‑page async indexing and audio embedding into the same index.
