A vector database for querying meaningfully similar data. The database can be extended to support documents of many data types; at the moment, text, image, and audio data are supported.
Zebras (like other equines) make a 'neigh' sound. The database performs a nearest-neighbour search to find similar data.
Zebra is intended for use as a library. You can add it as a dependency to a Rust project with the following command:
cargo add --git "https://github.com/emmyoh/zebra"
Additionally, a command-line interface (CLI) exists for usage in the terminal.
With the Rust toolchain installed, run the following command:
cargo install --git https://github.com/emmyoh/zebra --features="cli"
You should specify the features relevant to your use case. For example, if you're interested in using the Zebra CLI on an Apple silicon device, run:
cargo install --git https://github.com/emmyoh/zebra --features="cli,accelerate,metal"
accelerate
- Uses Apple's Accelerate framework when running on Apple operating systems.cuda
- Enables GPU support with Nvidia cards.mkl
- Uses Intel oneMKL with Intel CPUs and GPUs.metal
- Enables GPU support for Apple silicon machines.sixel
- Prints images in Sixel format when using the CLI with compatible terminals.avif
- Enables querying & inserting AVIF images.cli
- Provides a command-line interface to Zebra.
