thanks! how did you make the decision to use hnsw over faiss and other search algorithms?

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.
