Semantic Vector Similarity Search With Metadata Filtering

via “metadata-filtering-with-vector-search”

The AI-native database built for LLM applications, providing incredibly fast hybrid search of dense vector, sparse vector, tensor (multi-vector), and full-text.

Unique: Implements metadata filtering as integrated query optimization with cost-based decisions on filter placement (pre-search vs. post-search), storing metadata in columnar format alongside vectors for cache-efficient filtering during HNSW traversal.

vs others: More efficient than post-search filtering because metadata is collocated with vectors in memory; more flexible than Pinecone's metadata filtering because Infinity uses standard SQL predicates and cost-based optimization.
