Leading the AI / Vector Database effort @ Timescale.

When developing new algorithms for performance there is always a long period of time when you have no idea whether it will actually, you know, work. Developing pgvectorscale was no different. I spent months developing the algorithm without much luck. Then, one day, we ran benchmarks and my colleague sent me a slack message “DUDE, you hit gold with this branch”. That’s when I knew I was onto something. The end-results were impressive. PostgreSQL + pgvector + pgvectorscale vs Pinecone produces 28x lower p95 latency and 16x higher query throughput for approximate nearest neighbor queries at 99% recall. It does this on EC2 hardware that costs 75% less. I’ll admit to being giddy. You should be too. https://tsdb.co/mat-pg-ai

I didn't notice this factor ever before, however you made such a great impact. More power to you.
