VectorSync: Edge Compute for AI Workloads

Data engineers often find that running heavy vector computations directly on PostgreSQL inflates CPU usage and throttles I/O performance. VectorSync introduces a lightweight, serverless compute layer that offloads these vector operations to dedicated GPUs, returning efficient results to the DB while keeping server load minimal and latency low.

Comment on: Show HN: Lantern – a PostgreSQL vector database for building AI applications

doing it remotely--on the database server as part of the query plan--frankly seems kind of crazy to me, as it is going to be so slow and add a massive CPU load to what should be an I/O workload.
