WHY QDRANT?

Build for Production-Grade AI Search

Engineered for real-time retrieval with the speed, accuracy, and scale that modern AI demands.

Expansive Metadata Filters

Store metadata in JSON and use advanced filters, such as nested, text, geo, has_vector, and more.

Learn About Metadata Filters

Native Hybrid Search (Dense + Sparse)

Blend keyword and vector search in one query – use dense or sparse vectors. Supports BM25, SPLADE++, and miniCOIL.

Multivector illustration

Built-in Multivector

Set new standards for relevance; make the retrieval layer more expressive, flexible, and multimodal with multiple vectors per object.

See Documentation
One-stage filtering illustration

Efficient, One-Stage Filtering

Filters are applied during HNSW traversal — no pre- or post-filtering. High recall with low latency, even under complex conditions.

See Documentation
Reranking illustration

Full-Spectrum Reranking

Infuse business logic with score boosting, achieve token-level precision with late interaction models (e.g. ColBERT), diversify results with Maximum Marginal Relevance (MMR)

See Documentation

ARCHITECTURE FOR THE AI - NOT KEYWORD - ERA

Performance by Design

We research, engineer, and optimize each component from first principles for the fastest, most scalable, and most customizable AI retrieval and search engine.

Highest‑Performance Vector Search Engine

Built entirely in Rust with SIMD and a custom storage engine (Gridstore) — no wrappers, no bolt-ons. Just fast, scalable vector search.

Real‑Time Indexing

Index new data instantly without rebuilding the entire index. Your vectors are searchable the moment they're added.

Memory‑Efficient Storage

Store billions of vectors with minimal memory footprint using our optimized storage architecture.

Asymmetric, Scalar and Binary Quantization

Reduce memory usage by up to 64x while maintaining search quality with advanced quantization techniques.
