Downstream workspaces adopting Lance 15.0.0-beta.11 currently also resolve beta.10 because the SDK pins every Lance crate exactly. This produces incompatible Lance types across the SDK and the consumer. Update the workspace pins and lockfile to the published [v15.0.0-beta.11](https://github.com/lance-format/lance/releases/tag/v15.0.0-beta.11). This release includes payload-free list length reads and preserves those read modes across serialized plans (lance-format/lance#10759, lance-format/lance#10766). Existing feature flags and unrelated locked packages are unchanged. The release also includes the metric/k-dependent search-effort calibration from lance-format/lance#10695. Update the Node and Python execution tests to its exact probe budgets (for example, effort 0.25 with L2, k=8 and Auto=6 now probes 4 partitions), and cover the 0.1 tier. Recall, caller bounds and probe-precedence assertions remain in place. Validation: - `cargo fmt --all --check` - `cargo clippy --quiet --features remote --tests --examples` - Downstream metadata fixture with SDK source and the released Lance beta.11 path overrides resolves exactly one Lance version. - `cargo test --quiet --features remote --tests`: 2,271 passed, 0 failed, 79 existing ignored tests. - Node native/TypeScript build, lint and API documentation generation passed; 41 query tests passed. - Python native binding build and package Ruff checks passed; 208 query tests passed, 1 slow test deselected, 5 existing deprecation warnings. - Rust results remain applicable: the follow-up changes only binding tests, with product source and dependency graph unchanged from the tested dependency update. Repository-root Ruff currently reports 59 lint findings and 6 formatting failures in untouched documentation snippets. Their blobs match the PR base; the changed Python test and the entire Python package pass lint/format checks.

The ultimate multimodal data platform for AI/ML applications.
LanceDB is designed for fast, scalable, and production-ready vector search. It is built on top of the Lance columnar format. You can store, index, and search over petabytes of multimodal data and vectors with ease. LanceDB is a central location where developers can build, train and analyze their AI workloads.
Demo: Multimodal Search by Keyword, Vector or with SQL
