Decision brief

Designed for high-speed hybrid searches in LLM applications, infinity supports dense vector, sparse vector, tensor, and full-text data types.

Good fit when

  • When your application requires rapid hybrid search capabilities across multiple data types including tensors and full texts.
  • For projects that need to integrate closely with large language models using AI-native technologies.

Avoid when

  • If your project does not benefit from fast hybrid search features or if you prefer not to use an AI-native database solution.
  • When support for only dense vectors is sufficient, and the added complexity of supporting tensors and full texts is unnecessary.

Install Infinity server

Linux x86_64 & MacOS x86_64

sudo mkdir -p /var/infinity && sudo chown -R $USER /var/infinity
docker pull infiniflow/infinity:nightly
docker run -d --name infinity -v /var/infinity/:/var/infinity --ulimit nofile=500000:500000 --network=host infiniflow/infinity:nightly

Windows

If you are on Windows 10+, you must enable WSL or WSL2 to deploy Infinity using Docker. Suppose you've installed Ubuntu in WSL2:

  1. Follow this to enable systemd inside WSL2.

  2. Install docker-ce according to the instructions here.

  3. If you have installed Docker Desktop version 4.29+ for Windows: Settings > Features in development, then select Enable host networking.

  4. Pull the Docker image and start Infinity:

    sudo mkdir -p /var/infinity && sudo chown -R $USER /var/infinity
    docker pull infiniflow/infinity:nightly
    docker run -d --name infinity -v /var/infinity/:/var/infinity --ulimit nofile=500000:500000 --network=host infiniflow/infinity:nightly
    

Install Infinity client

pip install infinity-sdk==0.7.3
