Overview
Vespa.ai is an open-source AI search platform founded in Trondheim, Norway, that spun out of Yahoo in October 2023 after more than 20 years of internal development. The platform unifies vector (ANN), lexical (BM25), and structured search with distributed machine-learned ranking and real-time tensor inference in a single engine, enabling developers to build search, recommendation, personalization, and RAG applications at enterprise scale. Vespa is available as a self-managed open-source deployment (Apache 2.0) or as Vespa Cloud, a fully managed service running on AWS and GCP with an optional Enclave bring-your-own-cloud mode. Notable production users include Yahoo, Spotify, Perplexity, Elicit, Vinted, and RavenPack. The GitHub repository has over 6,800 stars and more than 10 million Docker Hub downloads.
Vespa.ai is an AI search platform that combines vector search, full-text search, structured data filtering, and machine-learned ranking into a single distributed serving engine. Originally built within Yahoo and open-sourced in 2017, it is designed for applications that must query, rank, and make inferences over billions of continuously changing data items at sub-100ms latencies and thousands of queries per second. It is offered as open-source software and as Vespa Cloud, a managed cloud service.
