I can deploy Quadrant on the edge to do vector search on the edge.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

And we actually just released a demo that shows...

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

Quadrant operating on a pair of smart glasses to do image detection in real time.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

So it's really cool.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

And the key thing about Quadrant here is that it's not like just an embedded library, but it has the functionality to take the embeddings that you have locally on device, operate offline.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

And then when you come back online, like let's say you're like a remote worker and you need access to like a database of like information.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

you can access the database of this information locally using Quadrant.

Coder Radio

And then if you're doing a chatbot and you're talking to a chatbot, for instance, and you want to then send your conversation history back to some remote database and do syncing, Quadrant can do this.

Coder Radio

So it can sync a remote cluster with a local embedded device and manage the synchronization and the indexing of all the data.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

So it's kind of this idea of

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

build once, deploy anywhere.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

You can take Quadrant, you can put it on a pair of smart glasses, you can put it on your iPhone, you can put it on EC2 instance on your Mac.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

You can even put it on a supercomputer.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

There's been some research showing that Quadrant can run pretty efficiently on some supercomputers at the Argonne National Lab.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

So where I see a lot of people having success is that they start working with Quadrant on open source.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

I think that from a developer experience perspective, it's very easy to work with.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

People like it because if people are accustomed to, you know, standing up their stack in Docker or whatever, Quadrant is just like another few.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

It's like a very simple Docker YAML.
