2. The key to using a benchmark is not to find which vector database is the "best" but which one is most suitable for your use cases and applications. Actually, there is no "universally best" vector database for any situation. So I don't think anyone should be able to cheat on this.
No this is not vendor neutral unless you can prove that zillz included all tests that would expose its weakness.

see, you called it "leaderbord", it is a good proof that it is not vendor neutral. By using such highly biased tool, its hosting url has both the name of your company and the term "leader", it implies that the company is a leader when compared to other "vector" databases. tell me how such dirty trick is called vendor neutral?
please, HN is a place full of professional developers, many of those including myself have been in the business long enough to tell what is cheap propaganda and what is real cool tech.

because whether there should be a product category called "vector database" is in doubt in the first place. as explain, it is a low tech stuff significantly easier to design & implement than today's regular databases (e.g. cockroachdb). its role will eventually be filled by other real databases.
I won't argue with you about whether "vector database" should be a product category. You are not the first or even the last person who has doubts about it. Maybe many years later, we'll have the answer.
