        This is great for analytical workloads. I work with financial time
        series data (Japanese company filings) and have been using BigQuery
        with in-memory caching for the hot path. Curious whether DuckDB
        extensions like this could replace the BQ dependency for smaller
        datasets — the cold start + query cost model of serverless warehouses
        can be painful for API-serving use cases.

        As an aside, there's now Lance data format support in DuckDB through
        their extension. It has Lance's vector search support available among
        other things: [1] I just noticed this, and your post, and haven't yet
        checked neither (sorry). I'm however doing some vector search
        benchmarking soon, with DuckDB's options alongside others. So your work
        caught my attention here.

        Does your method work better than standard ANN when filters are very
        strict—and how does it affect speed vs accuracy?

        Nice !
        My most pressing request for VSS would be efficient binary vectors : is
        this on the table ?

          I haven't given binary vectors a lot of thought, but I'm exploring
