Lance transformed our model training pipeline at Runway. The ability to append columns without rewriting entire datasets, combined with fast random access and multimodal support, lets us iterate on AI models faster than ever. For a company building cutting-edge generative AI, that speed of iteration is everything.Midjourney generates breathtaking imagery for millions of users worldwide. Vector search is critical infrastructure that allows us to better serve our users. We evaluated multiple solutions and LanceDB was the only one that could meet the high-traffic and large scale requirements we had. We couldn't be happier with our decision.Before you buy LanceDB

How does usedby know who uses LanceDB?
Each company is linked to a public page that names it: LanceDB's customer page, a published case study, a press release or a job post. We save each page with a dated capture and check it again on each run. A company leaves the list only after three checks in a row that no longer find it, and at least 14 days after it was last seen. A company with a published case study or quote is never removed automatically.
What do confirmed, observed and signal mean?
Confirmed (11): a case study, a named quote or a press release. Observed (5): LanceDB shows the company on its own pages, for example a logo wall. Signal (0): a job post shows the company’s employees use LanceDB, the weakest proof. Every level counts as a customer, and each line shows its level.
How current is this list?
