LanceDB

Lance transformed our model training pipeline at Runway. The ability to append columns without rewriting entire datasets, combined with fast random access and multimodal support, lets us iterate on AI models faster than ever. For a company building cutting-edge generative AI, that speed of iteration is everything.

Lance has been a significant enabler for our multimodal data workflows. Its performance and feature set offer a dramatic step up from legacy formats like WebDataset and Parquet. Using Lance has freed up considerable time and energy for our team, allowing us to iterate faster and focus more on research.

With pgvector, every change meant a new migration. LanceDB lets us avoid the overhead and just point to a directory for local development. It's helped our developers build, test, and ship faster!- Pavitra Bhalla, Engineer @ Dosu
