We use HNSW internally via HNSWLIB, it's the same algorithm that Facebook uses to power their embedding search.

Faiss actually also uses HNSW internally, HNSWLIB is just a lighter weight implementation which allowed us to iterate faster. In the future we will switch it back out for FAISS to take advantage of its full array of functionality.
