Introducing Milvus Lite: Start Building a GenAI Application in Seconds
May 30, 2024Jiang Chen

Summary
Introduces Milvus Lite, a new product offering that allows Milvus to run locally within a Python application. This is achieved by reusing core Milvus components for vector indexing and query parsing while removing elements for distributed systems. It integrates with AI development stacks like LangChain and LlamaIndex, and uses an SQLite file for persistence. The API is compatible with the standard Milvus API, with the primary difference being the `uri` parameter pointing to a local file.
