In this tutorial, @cle-does-things.bsky.social walks you through how to design, build, and deploy an anomaly detection workflow using @qdrant.bsky.social, @supabase.com, and LlamaAgents, the fastest way to take your ideas from concept to cloud.
🫶 Big thanks to everyone who joined Qdrant’s Discord Office Hours!

Loved the energy, ideas, and stories - and special thanks to Brian, Joshua, Clelia, and Tarun for the great insights.

See you next month for more tech, chats, and demos! 💬

Had a great time at the Qdrant Hangout Office Hours 💚
Brian O’Grady shared scaling tips, Joshua Mo walked through RIG framework (#in-rust-we-trust), @cle-does-things.bsky.social demoed #LlamaAgents, and Tarun R Jain talked #PyCon.

This is really neat. I really like the way that Qdrant focuses on simplicity and performance while still trying to combine it with the insights from heavier machine learning innovations for meaning extraction and semantic search.

@mrscoopers.bsky.social and Kacper Łukawski will be there June 16-17 in Berlin, so if you're into vector search and want to chat over coffee, come find us! Plus Jenny's giving a talk about miniCOIL - our new sparse retrieval model that's pretty cool 🚀

Coffee + vector databases = perfect combo ☕
☕ Guess what? We're sponsoring the coffee breaks at @berlinbuzzwords.de 2025!

I'll really try to make my talk (on the 17th at 11:10 am in Kesselhaus) fit this "𝘏𝘮𝘮𝘮𝘮, 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘯" vibe of @berlinbuzzwords.de!
To TLDR, it's about making 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 as 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 as BM25, but 𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 (so 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 than BM25)
Join for:

✅ practical advice on vector search in daily #AI developer’s life from our & @llamaindex.bsky.social beloved star Clelia Astra Bertelli
✅ research insights on the role of multimodality in industrial #RAG from Monica Riedler, amazing PhD at @tum.de

The article explores the gap between theory and practice — and why relevance feedback hasn't made it yet into neural search at scale.

If you're building or working with retrieval systems, it’s worth a read.

Relevance Feedback in Informational Retrieval - Qdrant
Relerance feedback: from ancient history to LLMs. Why relevance feedback techniques are good on paper but not popular in neural search, and what we can do about it.
qdrant.tech
Relevance feedback helps search systems iteratively improve results toward relevance. It’s been studied for 60+ years — yet remains rare in modern neural search.

We explored the field to understand why — and gathered this summary of methods proposed over the years.

MCP week: Learn to use LlamaIndex to prep docs for Claude with a pre-built MCP server for @qdrant.bsky.social, using @angular.dev docs. Set up vector DB, process AI-friendly docs, configure MCP server, implement RAG pipeline:
https://www.aiboosted.dev/p/building-your-own-rag-system-typescript
Here's what we ran:
✅ Stored vectors as FLOAT16 instead of FLOAT32
✅ Used binary quantization to keep compressed vectors in RAM
✅ Kept full-precision vectors on disk for query-time rescoring
✅ Tuned HNSW for lower memory
✅ Enabled async disk I/O with io_uring to parallelize reads
🚧 We ran vector search over 400M CLIP embeddings from LAION-400M — using Qdrant and just 64GB RAM.

We wanted to see how far we could push Qdrant with minimal hardware and how much we could squeeze out of quantization, indexing, and async I/O.
