About

From the project README ·

Database for querying billions of vectors and embeddings in sublinear time on commodity machines.

Read the accompanying blog post for details and an accessible deep dive and in-depth technical report.

Getting started

Rust
fn main() {
  let db = CoreNN::create("/path/to/db", Cfg {
    // Specify the dimensionality of your vectors.
    dim: 3,
    // All other config options are optional.
    ...Default::default()
  });
  let key = "my_entry".to_string();
  let vec: Vec<f32> = vec![0.3, 0.6, 0.9];
  db.insert(&key, &vec);
  // For per-vector quantized int8: `db.insert_qi8(&key, &qvec_i8, scale, zero_point)`.

  // Later...
  let db = CoreNN::open("/path/to/db");
  let query: Vec<f32> = vec![1.0, 1.3, 1.7];
  // Returns Vec of (key, distance) pairs.
  let k100 = db.query(&query, 100);
  assert_eq!(k100[0].0.as_str(), "my_entry");
}

Python
from corenn_py import CoreNN

db = CoreNN.create("/path/to/db", {
  # Specify the dimensionality of your vectors.
  "dim": 3,
  # All other config options are optional.
})
keys = [
  "my_entry_1",
  "my_entry_2",
]
vectors = np.array([
  [0.3, 0.6, 0.9],
  [0.4, 1.1, 0.0],
])
# Or insert_bf16, insert_f16
# Or insert_i8 (per-vector quantized int8 + scale/zero_point arrays)
db.insert_f32(keys, vectors)

# Later...
db = CoreNN.open("/path/to/db")
queries = np.array([
  [1.0, 1.3, 1.7],
  [7.3, 2.5, 0.0],
])
# Returns a list of (key, distance) tuples
# for each query vector
# (so returns a list of lists).
k100 = db.query_f32(queries, 100)
Node.js

  },
  {
    key: "my_entry_2",
    vector: new Float32Array([3.1, 7.7, 6.4]),

// Array of { key, distance } objects.
const results = db.query(
  new Float32Array([0.0, 1.1, 2.2]),

Order: strongest tier first, then most downloads, then name, with unmeasured values last. A library counts downloads over 30 days. An app counts binary downloads per release. An app with none counts its crate downloads over 30 days. ML Rust runs this catalogue, so its closest project always gets a row.

Why ListedNo archive, New or Featured rule places it, so it is Listed.

What it lacks for Featured

  • It has 0 active dependents and 0 new dependents in 365 days. Featured needs 11 active dependents or 9 new dependents in 365 days. The repository route reads 401 stars, 24 forks and 1 contributor. It needs 4,539 stars, 434 forks and 79 contributors together.
  • Docs are missing: the primary crate publishes no README.

What else the check found

  • The last activity is on 5 Jan 2026, 308 days ago. The rules expect an update within 365 days. Dormancy rule
  • The oldest outside issue waits 454 days for a reply, past the limit of 270. No maintainer replied in 365 days. Rot signals rule

Exact rules: Listed, Featured library. The check on applied thresholds version 9.

Every rule outcome, as the check records it
  • expected-interval: version 0.3.1 base 300, capped at 3 releases = 150, raised to the 365-day floor: E = 365 days
  • dormancy: last activity 2026-01-05, 308 days ago, E = 365: active
