What is Zvec?

Zvec is an open-source, in-process vector database — lightweight, lightning-fast, and designed to embed directly into applications. Built on Proxima (Alibaba's battle-tested vector search engine), it delivers production-grade, low-latency, scalable similarity search with minimal setup.

Features:

  • Blazing Fast: Searches billions of vectors in milliseconds.
  • Simple, Just Works: Install and start searching in seconds. No servers, no config, no fuss.
  • Dense + Sparse Vectors: Work with both dense and sparse embeddings, with native support for multi-vector queries in a single call.
  • Hybrid Search: Combine semantic similarity with structured filters for precise results.
  • Runs Anywhere: As an in-process library, Zvec runs wherever your code runs — notebooks, servers, CLI tools, or even edge devices.
