Kinetica is a GPU-accelerated database that runs vector similarity search alongside structured filters, joins, and time windows within a single SQL statement, keeping new embeddings queryable the moment they land. Built on NVIDIA's cuVS ANN stack, it targets teams handling real-time operational and analytical data who want to avoid running a separate vector store.
