LanceDB

From agents to models, from search to training, one platform for all your AI data and workloads

LanceDB is a multimodal lakehouse built for AI teams that need to store, curate, and train on more than just text, covering images, video, and other data types ordinary databases were not built for. It sits under the data-heavy workloads behind modern AI systems, from search to agents to full model training.

The platform centers on a single table structure meant to work across different workloads at petabyte-to-exabyte scale, aiming to speed up the data curation and feature engineering work teams normally piece together from separate tools. That combination is meant to help teams build better models faster by giving them one consistent foundation for both storing raw multimodal data and preparing it for training. It fits this directory's research category as infrastructure for teams building and iterating on their own AI models rather than an end-user application.

LanceDB says its foundation is already trusted in production for large-scale AI workloads. Teams evaluating a new data foundation for their model training pipeline can look at LanceDB's platform to see how it fits their existing stack.
