USearch is a compact, single-file vector search engine: it delivers up to 10x faster HNSW performance than FAISS for billion-scale similarity and clustering.

USearch is a high-performance vector search engine that implements the HNSW algorithm, engineered for superior speed and portability. Benchmarks show it can be up to 10x faster than Meta's FAISS in indexing time for datasets like 100 Million 96D vectors. The core is a simple, single C++11 header library, but it offers native bindings for over 10 languages, including Python, Java, and Rust. It prioritizes efficiency: a 40-bit integer ID type allows the index to scale past 4 billion vectors, and disk-based index viewing eliminates the RAM bottleneck for massive datasets. This engine is already trusted by major databases like ClickHouse and DuckDB for its speed and low-dependency architecture.

### [Building Bob's Cabins Across Three Agent Tools Without Losing My Mind](https://nashville.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_iAJZ16pa6m0)

Revari: A Memory Dataplane for Heterogenous Agent Environments Every multi-agent workflow hits the same wall: switch tools and start over. Context vanishes between Claude, Codex, Cursor, or whatever your stack is. You end up re-explaining architecture decisions, copy-pasting summaries, manually bridging what one agent learned to the next. It's a tax on every tool switch, and it compounds. Revari eliminates that tax. It's a sovereign memory dataplane that sits below your agents, not inside any one of them. Persistent, hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vector + graph fused via RRF) running entirely on local hardware. Any agent reads and writes to the same shared memory. Swap agents mid-workflow and nothing is lost. Decisions, context, and intent carry forward automatically. That's the developer problem. Here's where the architecture goes further. Revari is built for DDIL (denied, degraded, intermittent, limited) environments and connectivity. Agents on edge devices persist memories locally via and reconcile when connectivity returns, over any network. The same memory layer that keeps your coding agents in sync also keeps autonomous systems coherent across factory floors, field hospitals, and forward-deployed environments. The open protocol underneath is post-quantum encrypted by default, with a novel gradient memory system that adapts to available bandwidth. Full context over Ethernet, compressed facts over WiFi, tags over LoRa. Starts with your dev workflow. Scales to infrastructure for agents that operate in the real world. Seeking development partners and seed funding.
