Timescale releases pg_vectorsearch claiming faster vector indexes than pgvector

Original: Pg_vectorsearch: An index that is faster than pgvector's IVFFlat and HNSW

Timescale has released pg_vectorsearch, a new vector search index for PostgreSQL that it says outperforms the IVFFlat and HNSW index types available in the widely used pgvector extension. The project is open source on GitHub. Developers are discussing the benchmarks and how the new index compares in practice for similarity search and AI workloads running on Postgres.

Why now: Developers building AI and similarity-search applications on PostgreSQL are keenly interested in faster vector indexing alternatives to pgvector.
