Unlock AI-Powered Search Without Compromising Security, Performance, or Cost

Lucenia 0.5.0 marks a major leap forward in secure, AI-native enterprise search. Built for organizations that want to harness the power of AI while maintaining complete control over their data, this release introduces powerful capabilities to make modern search fast, intelligent, and private by default.

Whether you're building secure Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, scaling vector search across hybrid infrastructure, or enabling natural language interaction with your internal data — Lucenia 0.5.0 is here to help.

Secure Machine Learning from Your Own Data​

Lucenia now supports secure training and embedding generation from your organization's indexed content — no third-party preprocessing required. With fine-grained, attribute-based access controls (ABAC), your machine learning workflows stay protected from accidental PII leakage or mission-critical exposure. Private data stays private.

Bring Your Own Model (BYOM)​

HuggingFace, Bedrock, LLaMA, PyTorch — public or private. Lucenia 0.5.0 offers plug-and-play compatibility with open and proprietary models. No vendor lock-in. Full flexibility. AI on your terms.

RAG Made Simple​

You don't need to wire together pipelines or stand up a dozen services. Lucenia includes native RAG processors to augment large language models in real time — at query or response — all through familiar API calls. It's Retrieval-Augmented Generation without the glue code.

Conversational Search for the Enterprise​

Enterprise search shouldn't require SQL syntax or custom DSLs. With Lucenia 0.5.0, your team can search in plain English — right out of the box. Ask questions, get answers. It's that simple.

80% Smaller Vector Footprint​

Store over 100 million vectors with up to 80% less memory than Lucene HNSW or Elastic KNN — and cut costs by 90% compared to Elastic Cloud or AWS OpenSearch. And with hybrid cloud support, you keep data close to where it's created.

Lucene 10.2.1 — First in Production, Again​

Lucenia was first to ship Lucene 10 in October — seven months ahead of OpenSearch. With this release, we're doing it again: Lucenia 0.5.0 includes Lucene 10.2.1, delivering upstream performance improvements where they matter most — in production.

Security That Scales​

Legacy search stacks introduce risk. OpenSearch 2.x and 3.x ship with JVM-level backdoors via vulnerable transitive dependencies. Lucenia strips these risks away — no reflection attack vectors, no dependency bloat. Full Elasticsearch and OpenSearch API compatibility means migration is secure, seamless, and fast.

Lucenia 0.5.0 is now available for secure download. If you're building intelligent, AI-powered search and want to stay in control — this is the release you've been waiting for.
