Author here. Good point—OpenSearch (which is based on FAISS) is actually included in the VectorDBBench results, so you can see how it compares there. That said, horizontal scaling for vector search is relatively straightforward; the real challenge is optimizing performance within a given (single-node) hardware budget, which is where we've focused our efforts.
