Infino AI
Infino is an open-source embedded retrieval library that runs full-text, vector, hybrid and SQL queries over one table stored as ordinary Parquet files on local disk or object storage, with a hosted option for agents.
Why it matters
For teams building AI agents that need search, semantic lookup and analytics over the same data. Instead of syncing a search engine, a vector database and a warehouse, it keeps one Parquet copy in your own bucket.
Highlights
- One table supports BM25 full-text, vector and hybrid search with fused ranking, plus SQL.
- SQL functions such as hybrid_search and graph_walk let an agent combine keyword, semantic and graph lookups with joins and GROUP BY in one query.
- Installs as a Python package (pip install infino), a Node.js package or a Rust crate, and stores data as plain Parquet locally or on object storage.
- The README reports warm p50 latency of 591 μs for vector top-10 and 125 μs for BM25 top-10 at 1 million documents on object storage, measured in its CI on Azure Blob.unverified

Worth knowing: The library installs the mimalloc allocator by default; turn that feature off if your process already sets a global allocator.
