Presenting VortexDB, a vector database written from scratch in Rust.

A vector database stores embeddings and returns the ones closest to your query. It serves as the retrieval backbone behind semantic search, recommendations, and RAG.

VortexDB is our own implementation of a vector database, and we have completed v0. It’s one of our learning projects built in SDSLabs, and it’s completely open source.

If you’re looking to contribute to a Rust or systems programming project, come read the code. Contribute to it, we have issues open on GitHub. Or you can build with it. We’d love to see people creating innovative projects with VortexDB.

Go check out the repo, star it, and watch for updates ahead!

Hey freshers,
You’ve probably heard a lot about AI already. But what happens when AI stops just answering you and starts thinking, planning, and getting things done on its own?
That’s where Agentic AI comes in.
Join us for an introductory session on Agentic AI and get a glimpse into how the next generation of AI systems actually works.

No prerequisites. No complicated jargon. Just come curious.

Hey folks, the SDSLabs & PAG recruitment test 2026 is here! 🚀

🗓 Date: 14th Feb 2026
⏰ Time: 3:30pm

Test Guidelines

• Location tracking: Geolocation + IP logging enabled. You must be present at APJAKB—being elsewhere on campus won’t count.
• Proctoring: AI-based audio and video monitoring with face tracking.
• Fullscreen mode: The test must remain in fullscreen; exiting may lead to penalties.
• Activity logging: Keystrokes and periodic audio/video samples are recorded for review.
• Not for design roles: If you’re applying for a design role, you can skip this test.

See you there!! 🔥
