Back in the day, NumPy made numerical computing in Python simple. NumKong brought that simplicity to more numeric types & chips, and v8 now takes it to NVIDIA, AMD and Apple GPUs. Here's how it compares with NumPy, including where it's slower and why 🧵

This doesn't even begin to describe how insanely cool USearch v3 is... Designed for 1B+, 10B+, 100B+ scales, it also fixes the v2's weakest modes of operation. ~100K QPS over ~100M bit-vectors on a single outdated CPU at 99%+ recall.

USearch v3 is ready for a design-partner preview! 3 years ago, I released USearch v2. It became my first widely deployed piece of software. It grew to over 4’000 GitHub stars, a number unimaginable to me back then. Together with my complementary projects, that’s 17’000 stars

This is one of the tricks powering the next wave of smarter UForm models at @unum_cloud 🤗 Contrastive Learning built on PyTorch, JAX, or even NCCL & NVSHMEM directly leave much of the hardware on the table. Want 5x larger batches at 2x lower loss latency? Get ready to write
