## Historique du projet et usages

NGT, Neighborhood Graph and Tree, is Yahoo Japan/LY Corporation's approximate nearest neighbor search library for large, high-dimensional vector data. It provides command-line tools and C, C++, and Python interfaces for building vector indices and searching them quickly.

### Historique du projet

Masajiro Iwasaki wrote in April 2023 that Yahoo! JAPAN Research released NGT as open-source software in September 2016. The GitHub README credits Yahoo Japan Corporation from 2015 and anchors the project in graph/tree approximate nearest-neighbor methods, later adding ONNG, NGTQ, QG, and QBG variants.

The release notes embedded in the README show a progression from ONNG availability in August 2018, quantized NGT in December 2018, PyPI packaging in January and June 2019, QG in January 2021, FP16 in February 2022, and QBG/QG command consolidation in August 2022. Homebrew packaged stable version 2.7.4 on July 1, 2026.

### Historique d'adoption

NGT's adoption is specialized but real in the vector-search world. The 2019 Opensource.com article says Yahoo! Japan used it for similarity-based fashion-item search, and the 2023 maintainer article says it was adopted by a number of Yahoo! JAPAN services through Vald. It is also cited in ANN benchmark and similarity-search literature.

Homebrew analytics on July 1, 2026 reported 268 install-on-request events over 365 days, which fits the package's role: useful for ML/search engineers and benchmarking people, not a mainstream developer utility.

### Modes d'utilisation

The package-nerd path is to install `ngt`, generate or export vectors, create an index with a command such as `ngt create -d 300 -D c index objects.ssv`, and search with `ngt search -n 10 index query.ssv`. Python users can install the binding from PyPI under the `ngt` package and use `ngtpy`.

QG and QBG matter when datasets get large enough that memory traffic dominates. The README describes NGT as graph/tree based, QG as quantized graph based, and QBG as quantized blob graph based; QBG is specifically documented for billion-object scale.
