Muvera-Py: Fast Multi-Vector Retrieval with FDE

Discover Muvera-Py, a new Python implementation of Google's MUVERA (Multi-Vector Retrieval via Fixed Dimensional Encodings) algorithm. This library revolutionizes search by transforming hundreds of document vectors into a single, fixed-size vector, significantly speeding up retrieval while maintaining accuracy. Learn how FDE, a highly optimized solution, addresses the scalability challenges of modern search systems like ColBERT. Muvera-Py offers full fidelity to the original C++ implementation, ensuring identical behavior for high-performance applications. Explore its features, including configuration classes, internal helper functions for Gray Code and random matrix generation, and the core algorithm for efficient FDE generation. Practical examples are provided to help developers integrate this powerful tool into their projects, making large-scale vector search faster and more memory-efficient.
