Qdrant open-sources Supernova engine for production-grade vector benchmarks
qdrant_engine · x · 2026-09-01
Qdrant released Supernova, an open-source engine designed for production-grade vector search benchmarks. The authors argue that existing public benchmarks fail to reflect real-world workloads involving billions of vectors, thousands of RPS, and tight tail latencies. The toolchain covers four phases—embedding generation, GPU-native brute-force ground truth, cluster loading, and evaluation—and is configurable via YAML, scaling across AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, and Slurm.
