Author here, happy to answer any questions! Been working on this for a while, so I'm very happy to get this v0.1.0 "stable" release out.

sqlite-vec works on MacOS, Linux, Windows, Raspberry Pis, in the browser with WASM, and (theoretically) on mobile devices. I focused a lot on making it as portable as possible. It's also pretty fast - benchmarks are hard to do accurately, but I'd comfortable saying that it's a very very fast brute-force vector search solution.

One experimental feature I'm working on: You can directly query vectors that are in-memory as a contiguous block of memory (ie NumPy), without any copying or cloning. You can see the benchmarks for that feature here under "sqlite-vec static", and it's competitive with faiss/usearch/duckdb https://alexgarcia.xyz/blog/2024/sqlite-vec-stable-release/i...
