Open-source retrieval layer for AI agents: full-text, vector search and SQL in one engine over Parquet in object storage
Infino AI builds a single retrieval layer for AI agents. Its open-source Rust engine combines full-text search, vector search and SQL over Apache Parquet files in object storage, so companies no longer stitch together a search engine, a vector database and a data warehouse; it claims roughly 10x lower cost than traditional search infrastructure. Search indexes live inside the Parquet files, so tools like Iceberg, Hudi, Spark and DuckDB read the same data, and a single SQL query can return ranked results with counts, joins and aggregates. The core is Apache 2.0 open source; Infino Cloud is the hosted service. It was founded by Ekechi Nwokah (CEO), Asif Makhani (who founded Amazon CloudSearch), Vinay Kakade (engineering) and Murali Krishna (chief architect), a team that built search and ML systems at Amazon, Google and LinkedIn and describes itself as the creators of OpenSearch. It emerged from stealth on October 7, 2026 with a $7.5M seed led by Bessemer Venture Partners (partner Lauri J. Moore).
