Volcano Milvus Hits Nearly 3× VectorDBBench Leader in Retrieval Speed

Under a fixed monthly budget of about 7,100 CNY, Volcano Milvus combines DiskANN and RaBitQ (including Extended‑RaBitQ) with in‑memory layout and query‑path slimming to deliver 20,420 QPS, 2.5 ms average latency, 93.9 % recall, achieving nearly three times the VectorDBBench top score while using roughly one‑third of the memory, disk and compute resources of competing solutions.
