 "what": "Qdrant is a vector similarity search engine and vector database written in Rust. It stores points, which are vectors with a JSON payload, and offers dense, sparse and multivector search, rich payload filtering, hybrid search with fusion, quantization that cuts RAM use by up to 97%, distributed deployment, a Web UI, REST and gRPC APIs, official clients in several languages and Qdrant Edge for small devices.",
 "why": "35k stars, talked about in 2 AI sources we track",
 "language": "Rust",
 "requirements": [
  "Docker for the local server, or a free tier cluster on Qdrant Cloud",
  "A client library, for example the Python client",
  "Embeddings from a model of your choice"
 ],
