Semantic and hybrid search used to mean wiring up your own embedding setup before you could even begin to test the idea. Our new AI Embedders page lets you connect OpenAI, Voyage AI, Cohere, Mistral, Gemini, Cloudflare or Ollama from any index. Prototype in minutes, keep the same setup in production. Open any index in your project to get started. Learn more about hybrid and semantic search: meilisearch.com/docs/capabil…

I've shipped support for semantic / vector search and hybrid full-text + vector search in Laravel Scout. Works with the database (pg_vector), Meilisearch, and (new) Turbopuffer drivers. laravel.com/framework/docs/s…

Keeping a search index fresh shouldn't mean babysitting a cron script. The certified Meilisearch plugin for @kestra_io is created and maintained by the core team: it allows to index into Meilisearch as a workflow task: logged, retried, scheduled, and observable. No glue code. meilisearch.com/docs/getting…

Did @Apple used @meilisearch for their new search feature? Look like they did something quite similar! #wwdc

I was looking at my Stripe Press collection: Working in Public, An Elegant Puzzle, High Growth Handbook. Three incredible books. And deep down, they're all about the same thing: how humans build together.

What happens to companies built by people who run away from human contact, who no longer want it? What problems do they actually solve? Will anyone still buy what they make in 5-10 years?

I don't have the right answer. I'm not anti-AI, I use it every day and I think it's a great help for humans. What scares me is the overuse, without thinking about the consequences. (Not even counting the ecological impact)

Launch Week, Day 5: we're closing out with two betas. 🖇️ 1. Document Joins (beta): link Meilisearch indexes the way you'd join SQL tables. Search results come back enriched with related data. No sync scripts, no stale results, no duplication. 📌 2. Dynamic Search Rules (beta): pin documents to exact positions in results, triggered by conditions you define (empty query, keyword, time window). 3 rules per project, free. As a reminder, here's a full list of features we covered this week: - Sharding & Replication - Enterprise security (SSO/SAML + MFA) - Chat UI - Search Performance Inspector - Document Joins (beta) - Dynamic Search Rules (beta) Thanks for following along! Full recap: meilisearch.com/launch-week-…

Unveiling our new startup Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI Labs). We just completed our seed round: $1.03B / 890M€, one the largest seeds ever, probably the largest for a European company. We're hiring! [the background image is the Veil Nebula - a picture I took from my backyard, most appropriate for an unveiling] More details here: techcrunch.com/2026/03/09/ya…
Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) is building a new breed of AI systems that understand the world, have persistent memory, can reason and plan, and are controllable and safe. We’ve raised a $1.03B (~€890M) round from global investors who believe in our vision of universally intelligent systems centered on world models. This round is co-led by Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, HV Capital, and Bezos Expeditions, along with other investors and angels across the world. We are a growing team of researchers and builders, operating in Paris, New York, Montreal and Singapore from day one. Read more: amilabs.xyz/ AMI - Real world. Real intelligence.

Once again, Rust is the solution to the crap that happened to MongoDB. People who cannot understand the reason should take a step back: #mongobleed is no more than #heartbleed, and is due to the use of an unsafe memory language. Use Rust, not C, C++, or other crappy languages.

Yes! Rust is better than C++ and one of the reasons is because it landed in the Linux Kernel. C++ tried and failed... lwn.net/Articles/1049831
