In Weaviate 1.34, we are previewing a few exciting features, such as flat index support with RQ quantization and server-side batching, as well as a sneak peek into upcoming C# and Java v6 client libraries.

Weaviate 1.34 Product highlights

Check out our latest product updates from Weaviate 1.34, and try them out today by signing up for a free sandbox cluster! See below for details.

• Flat Index RQ Quantization: Weaviate now supports flat indexing with rotational quantization, compressing vectors up to 32x while maintaining near-perfect recall—ideal for multi-tenancy scenarios with many small tenants.

• Server-Side Batching: Enhanced backpressure mechanisms and performance optimizations now handle millions of objects with improved throughput, especially when using external vectorizers.

• ACORN as Default Filter Strategy: Filtered vector searches are now faster out of the box with ACORN automatically optimizing query paths based on your specific patterns.

• 30+ New Observability Metrics: Deep visibility into LSM operations, cursor management, WAL recovery, and replication processes makes monitoring and debugging production deployments significantly easier.
