PGVECTOR IS NOW FASTER THAN PINECONE AT 75% LESS COST

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

pgvectorscale is a new open-source PostgreSQL extension that improves the performance and scalability of vector operations. It achieves this through StreamingDiskANN, a disk-based vector search index that is more cost-efficient than in-memory indexes, and Statistical Binary Quantization, a novel compression method that improves accuracy. Benchmarks show that PostgreSQL with pgvector and pgvectorscale outperforms other commercial vector databases.
