May 12, 2026Daniel Azoulai

Summary
This post details Sapu's use of Qdrant to index 28 million PubMed abstracts into a single collection, enabling hybrid retrieval and per-document parallel querying. The architecture involves OpenAI's text-embedding-3-large model and LangChain for ingestion. Qdrant Cloud Premium was adopted for reliability and compliance. Future plans include evaluating Qdrant Edge for on-device vector search in air-gapped environments and Qdrant Cloud Inference for embedding pipelines.
