Infino is an open-source retrieval engine that embeds full-text (BM25) search, vector embeddings, and SQL directly inside standard Apache Parquet files on object storage such as S3, GCS, or Azure Blob. It targets developers building retrieval-augmented AI agents and data teams who want search and vector queries running natively against their warehouse data without a separate search cluster or vector database.
