Dino10B: first 10-billion-scale nearest-neighbor search benchmark, 10.3TB of DINOv3 embeddings

Researchers including FAISS authors Swann Bessa, Matthijs Douze, and Hervé Jégou released Dino10B, the first clustering/nearest-neighbor benchmark at 10-billion-vector scale. It contains 10B 1024-dim uint8 DINOv3 ViT-L/16 patch embeddings from Creative Commons images (10.3TB), organized as 16 nested subsets from 100k to 10B vectors, each a prefix of the next. It ships with 100k held-out queries and exact top-10 ground truth at every subset size, plus 99M separately held-out training queries — enabling reproducible, scaling-aware evaluation of ANN search and clustering algorithms.
