Some milestones aren’t measured in revenue. They’re measured in trust.
This week, one of the world’s five largest space agencies started evaluating HyperspaceDB. The goal is simple, but technically demanding: provide an energy-efficient semantic memory with near-instant access to technical documentation onboard a spacecraft.
For obvious reasons, I can’t disclose the organization yet. I can only say that it is not NASA and not SpaceX.
This isn’t a commercial contract. Not yet.
It’s an engineering evaluation, and potentially the beginning of a much larger partnership.
For me, that’s even more exciting.
When you’re building infrastructure, validation doesn’t always come from funding rounds or headlines.
Sometimes it comes from organizations that literally build spacecraft. If everything goes well, HyperspaceDB could reach space next year.
Not bad for an open source vector database that started as an ambitious idea.

Today we shipped HyperspaceDB v3.1.1. yar.ink/hyperspace
Most users won’t notice the difference. That’s exactly the point. The biggest engineering work often happens where nobody can see it: stability, architecture, developer experience, and the foundation for what’s coming next.
We also updated our website, and we’re getting very close to opening HyperspaceDB Cloud for public access.
But the part I’m most excited about isn’t the release itself.
Next week, we’ll update the website once again. This time, we’ll start showcasing the companies that are integrating HyperspaceDB into their AI infrastructure and internal workflows.
The list is still modest, but it’s incredibly motivating to see names such as Wells Fargo, Costco, Nokia, BNP Paribas, Cloudflare, Alibaba, ByteDance, LOT, and several others experimenting with our technology.
For an open source project, real adoption matters far more than GitHub stars.
Of course, I hope that over time these companies will support the project not only by building with it, but also by contributing back to the ecosystem. That’s the beauty of open source: everyone benefits when innovation flows in both directions.
We’re just getting started.
#HyperspaceDB #OpenSource #VectorDatabase #AIInfrastructure #RAG #EnterpriseAI #Startup #DeveloperTools #Cloud #MaaS
The roadmap for the next few weeks looks roughly like this:
1. Targeted outreach on Reddit.
2. Launch the HyperspaceDB SaaS.
3. Finalize pricing.
4. Finish the developer documentation for our DePIN architecture.
5. Help 5 to 10 companies already integrating HyperspaceDB reach production.
6. Build skills_mcp and wiki_mcp.
The last two are still under wraps. 🤫
One thing I’ve learned over the last year:
Building the technology is only half the job.
The other half is making sure people actually discover it.

HyperspaceDB v3.1.0: The Spatial AI Engine (Zero-OOM, Lorentz Geometry, & MRL Cascade)
github.com/YARlabs/hyperspac…
Traditional vector databases were built for flat PDF chatbots. But AI is moving to autonomous agents and robotics. 🤖
Today, we are thrilled to announce HyperspaceDB v3.0 LTS: The world’s first Spatial AI Engine. github.com/YARlabs/hyperspac…
HyperspaceDB v2.0 is live.
Serverless core.
Lock-free engine.
12,000 QPS search.
1,000 concurrent clients.
230MB Docker image.
We didn’t add features.
We removed bottlenecks.
1M vectors • 1024d • 1000 concurrent clients
Search QPS:
- Hyperspace v2.0 → 11,964
- Milvus → 4,848
- Qdrant → 4,133
Ingest QPS:
- Hyperspace v2.0 → 59,208
- Milvus → 28,173
- Qdrant → 2,102
~2.5–3x faster on search.
Up to 28x faster on ingestion.
And still the lightest serious vector DB:
- 230MB Docker image
- Serverless idle eviction
- Sub-ms cold start
- Native multi-tenancy
Lock-free reads (ArcSwap).
Work-stealing scheduler (Rayon).
SIMD acceleration.
No cache-line ping-pong. No contention storms.
Infinite memory. Zero latency.
v2.0 is a different class.
github.com/YARlabs/hyperspac…
#VectorDatabase #AIInfrastructure #HyperspaceDB #Rust #Serverless #AI
We are building something fundamentally different.
An ecosystem built on hyperbolic geometry
Lobachevsky. Lorentz. Curved space instead of flat assumptions.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Every time we try to measure progress, we hit a wall.
Vector DBs have benchmarks.
Run it. 2 minutes. You know where you stand.
Hyperbolic vectors?
No benchmark.
No standard way to compare:
• Euclidean vs Hyperbolic
• Hierarchical vs non-hierarchical data
• 1024d vs 64d curved space
So we built one.
Then we discovered something worse.
Benchmarks lie.
Not because math lies.
Because people tune.
Run it 10 times.
Adjust parameters.
Cherry-pick the best curve.
Publish the number that looks heroic.
But try a single cold run in production?
Those numbers evaporate.
If your metric only exists after 15 optimization passes,
is it performance
or is it theater?
We need:
• reproducible runs
• cold-start metrics
• geometry-aware evaluation
• fair Euclidean vs Hyperbolic comparison
To colleagues in the field:
Why are we optimizing for leaderboard screenshots
instead of reality?
#AI #Benchmarks #VectorSearch #Hyperbolic #MLInfra #AGI
Neural Git: a use case that is impossible (or insanely expensive) on Milvus / Pinecone / Postgres.
Imagine 50 developers working on a giant monolith.
Each has an AI agent in their IDE.
Today:
• Agents only see local files
• Cloud RAG kills latency
• No one syncs “understanding” of the code
• Git syncs text, not meaning
Now imagine this:
3-Level Distributed Semantic Memory
Level 1 — The Coder (Laptop)
• HyperspaceDB in Hyperbolic 64d
• 150k QPS ingestion
• Async mode
• Rebuilds in seconds if IDE crashes
• Tiny footprint
No Docker monster. No 4GB RAM sacrifice.
Level 2 — The Team Lead (Local Team Server)
• Merkle Tree Sync
• Delta-only vector exchange
• No re-uploading gigabytes
• Agents warn each other in near real-time
“Hey. You’re calling an old Auth API. It was just rewritten.”
Before a git pull.
Level 3 — The Auditor (Corporate Archive)
• Strict durability
• Full AI decision traceability
• Compliance-safe
⸻
Why is this impossible elsewhere?
• Milvus / Weaviate → too heavy for laptops
• Pinecone → cloud-bound, privacy nightmare
• SQLite / Chroma → no efficient delta sync
• 1024d embeddings → gigabytes of memory
With HyperspaceDB (Hyperbolic 64d):
• 1M vectors → ~687 MB
• 6.4s ingestion
• 1ms latency
You don’t just sync code.
You sync understanding.
That’s Neural Git.
That’s Digital Thalamus yar.ink/hyperspace
#HyperspaceDB #AIInfrastructure #VectorDatabase #DevTools #AGI #SemanticSSL
We didn’t just optimize ingestion.
We rewired geometry.
HyperspaceDB v1.5.0 (Native Hyperbolic Mode):
• 156,587 QPS insert
• 1M vectors in 6.4s
• 1.07ms P50 search latency
• 2.47ms P99
• 687 MB for 1M vectors
Poincaré. 64 dimensions. Real hardware.
This is what happens when storage matches structure.
Digital Thalamus is not theory. It’s running.
#VectorDatabase #HyperbolicGeometry #AIInfrastructure #Poincare #DigitalThalamus #SemanticSSL
HyperspaceDB v1.5.0 is out.
1M vectors in 56 seconds.
• 82× ingestion speedup
• 17,721 QPS sustained
• 50% less disk than Milvus
• Zero performance degradation
Native hyperbolic mode:
• 1M vectors in 6.4s
• 156k QPS
• 687 MB storage
This is not a roadmap.
This is shipping.

Big context windows don’t fix bad RAG.
They hide it. Temporarily.
Typical setup:
• Context: 32k–128k tokens
• Retrieval precision: 75–85%
• Irrelevant tokens in context: 40–60%
• Cost grows ~linear with window size
Hyperbolic retrieval:
• Context: 4k–8k tokens
• Precision: 92–96%
• Noise: <10%
• Same or better answer quality
More context ≠ better grounding.
Better geometry does.
#RAG #LLM #AIInfra #ContextWindow #HyperbolicAI
RAG failures are geometric, not model-related.
Typical Euclidean setup:
• 768–1536 dims
• Recall@10: ~82–88%
• Hallucination rate: 12–18%
• Ambiguous concepts collapse into the same neighborhood
Hyperbolic space:
• 48–96 dims
• Recall@10: 92–96%
• Hallucination rate: <4%
• Contexts diverge naturally as semantic trees
Same data.
Different geometry.
Completely different outcome.
#RAG #VectorDB #AIInfra #Embeddings #HyperbolicAI
Euclidean embeddings are a temporary compromise.
Hyperbolic embeddings are the destination.
Today we project flat vectors into hyperbolic space.
Tomorrow, models will generate hyperbolic vectors natively.
What changes?
• 1000d → 16–32d without losing structure
• 10–50x less memory
• 10–50x faster search
• Hierarchy encoded directly in vector norms
• Dramatically fewer RAG hallucinations
Hyperbolic space stores meaning as trees, not lists.
HyperspaceDB is already built for that future.
When hyperbolic embeddings arrive, we won’t adapt.
We’ll just turn the key.
#AI #VectorDB #RAG #Embeddings #Hyperbolic #AGIInfra
We shipped. Not a slide. Not a promise.
HyperspaceDB is live.
The fastest & lightest vector database we’ve built.
• runs on Raspberry Pi
• works in the browser
• ultra-low latency
• minimal memory footprint
A real Digital Thalamus can’t exist without lightweight, fast semantic memory.
We’re not just talking about AGI protocols.
We’re building them.

AI Firewall should be free.
Not as a feature. As a rule.
Security can’t be optional.
It can’t be “Enterprise-only”.
And it definitely can’t be a growth lever.
If your AI product becomes dangerous the moment users scale —
you built a trap, not a platform.
We believe AI safety must be:
• default
• invisible
• free
Everything else is negligence.
#AI #Security #AIFirewall #LLM #Infra #DigitalThalamus
We didn’t pivot because the old idea was wrong.
We pivoted because we found the real bottleneck.
AI doesn’t fail because models are weak.
It fails because:
• context is fragmented
• security is optional
• cost is unmanaged
• orchestration is naive
Agents, tools, workflows are effects, not causes.
The cause lives deeper.
That’s where we’re building now.
#DigitalThalamus #AIInfrastructure #Pivot #LLM #DeepTech
Pivot announcement.
Everything we shared before was real.
Everything we’re building next is bigger.
We didn’t pivot features.
We pivoted the layer we’re operating on.
We’re not building another LLM.
We’re making every LLM significantly better than it is today.
Security.
Context.
Compression.
Latency.
Cost.
This is the line between before and after.
We call it Digital Thalamus 🧠
More details soon.
Developer access + investment round opening shortly.

Just published a short piece on LinkedIn comparing Recursive Language Models (MIT CSAIL) with the system we’re building.
TL;DR:
#AI #RLM is an algorithm for how #LLM think.
Our work is about what they’re allowed to think about: attention, memory, latency, and security.
They’re not competitors. They’re different layers of the same stack.

This year, two technologies will finally arrive — the ones the market has been missing for a long time:
1️⃣ An AI Firewall — accessible to every user, not just enterprises
2️⃣ A truly unlimited context window — for any LLM
And yes — we’re the ones bringing both of them to life. 🚀
Stay tuned. This is just the beginning.
