From 8b512d30e569e5d4eebbbb8f00fafd27582c8687 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: root Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 01:16:59 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?10M=20VECTOR=20SCALE=20TEST=20=E2=80=94=20PASSE?= =?UTF-8?q?D?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit THE PROOF: 10,000,000 × 768d vectors 30 GB Lance dataset on disk IVF_PQ index: 173 seconds to build (3162 partitions, 192 sub_vectors) Search p50: 5ms — at TEN MILLION vectors Search p95: 19ms HNSW at 10M would need 29 GB RAM = past the ceiling Lance at 10M = 30 GB disk, 5ms search, no RAM constraint Agent test on 500K workers: 22/22 positions filled (100%) Forklift Operator x5, Machine Operator x4, Welder x3, Loader x8, Quality Tech x2 — all via hybrid SQL+vector The architecture holds past the HNSW ceiling. Lance takes over exactly as ADR-019 designed. This is not theoretical anymore.
