Hi, nice work. I write a similar vector search extension https://github.com/1yefuwang1/vectorlite inspired by sqlite-vss using C++17 and hnswlib. I'd like to do a benchmark to compare it with sqlite-vec, but I guess it is not a fair comparison given that sqlite-vec uses brute-force only. One thing I'd recommend is to include recall rate in your benchmark data. Brute force approach is a good starting point but doesn't scale with serious production workload.
In Sqlite-vec: Work-in-progress vector search SQLite extension that runs anywhere
