Milvus 2.3.0 beta adds GPU vector-search indexes

The Milvus 2.3.0 beta release added GPU-based RAFT and FAISS indexes. The March 20 artifact preceded Zilliz’s March 21 GTC announcement and the later stable 2.3 release.

The artifact predates the press announcement

The GitHub prerelease explicitly gives March 20, 2023 as its release date and describes GPU-based vector-search indexes. It credits named NVIDIA contributors to RAFT code. Zilliz’s GTC press announcement followed on March 21; neither the announcement nor the beta artifact should be confused with later stable availability. [1][2][3]
