Semantic product search at scale
80M product vectors. IVFPQ on EC2 inference cluster. Managed cost prohibitive at this volume.
Most teams should use Pinecone, Weaviate or pgvector. FAISS is the right choice when you have dedicated GPU or CPU compute, need fine-grained control over index type (IVF, HNSW, PQ, IVFPQ), want to build a retrieval system that's a first-class component of your architecture - or need to run vector search at a scale and cost point that managed services can't match.
Three things we sign up to before we write a line of code. All measurable. All agreed upfront.
Flat, IVF, HNSW or IVFPQ - chosen based on your scale, latency SLO, memory budget and accuracy requirement. We benchmark your data and query pattern before recommending. The wrong index type costs 4x latency or 8x memory.
FAISS handles the ANN search. The production retrieval system needs more: metadata pre-filtering before ANN search, post-retrieval reranking with a cross-encoder, freshness monitoring, and a deletion/tombstone policy. We build the full stack - FAISS is the retrieval core.
faiss-gpu enables GPU-accelerated search for IVF and Flat indexes, with significant throughput improvements for large-scale batch search. We configure GPU acceleration for clients with NVIDIA A100 or V100 instances who need billion-vector search or high-concurrency query throughput.
We see the same failure modes every engagement. Our delivery model is built to avoid all of them.
Most engagements start with one of these six people. The pitch is calibrated to the metric they're judged on.
Across industries. Each with a specific mechanism and a specific metric.

FAISS provides raw, unmediated performance and is the computational core for massive search systems. It allows for the specialized, low-level engineering needed to achieve sub-millisecond responses in the most demanding enterprise applications.
It enables the backend for real-time recommendation systems that operate over massive catalogs. FAISS executes nearest-neighbor searches across billions of vectors in milliseconds, vital for large-scale e-commerce and streaming platforms.
Semantic caching is an intelligent layer using FAISS to index query embeddings. It instantly identifies similar requests to serve a cached response, significantly reducing operational costs and the need for costly LLM API calls.
The core value is architecting the optimal index for your needs. This involves meticulous tuning to achieve the ideal balance between search speed, recall (accuracy), and hardware cost for the application.
We specialize in architecting systems that use FAISS's GPU support for unparalleled query throughput. Our process minimizes CPU-GPU data transfer bottlenecks, enabling true millisecond-latency search on massive indexes for real-time applications.
We follow a structured, agile process: from Discovery and Feasibility PoC to Solution Architecture. The process culminates in rigorous testing, MLOps deployment, and continuous monitoring for sustained operational value.
