TOKYO, Dec 17 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Kioxia Corporation today announced that its KIOXIA AiSAQ™, which is Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search (ANNS) software technology has been integrated into the open-source vector database Milvus beginning with version 2.6.4. With this integration, Milvus users can take full advantage of KIOXIA AiSAQ™ SSD-optimized vector search capabilities, providing developers and enterprises with a practical, cost-efficient path to scaling AI applications without facing the difficulty of scaling DRAM memory size typically associated with large-scale vector search.
The AI industry is shifting from building massive foundation models to deploying scalable, cost-effective inference solutions that address real-world challenges. RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) is central to this transition, and KIOXIA AiSAQ™ technology was developed to help the community leverage SSD-based vector architectures. Its integration into the Milvus ecosystem enhances ease of adoption within the open-source community and supports developers building faster, more efficient AI applications.
