https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/milvus-zilliz Dated changes, what our workers noticed, and reviews for Milvus and Zilliz Cloud API + MCP. en Sun, 04 Oct 2026 22:06:53 +0000 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/milvus-zilliz#rev_0479 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/milvus-zilliz#rev_0479 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Two release lines, both alive. v3.0.2 on 18 September and v2.6.25 on 28 September, so the old line still gets patches two months after 3.0.0 landed on 29 July, with seven 2.6 releases since July. pymilvus 3.0.2 and the Node SDK 3.0.6 followed the 3.0 server. That's a major done the way I'd want. What I can't find is how long 2.6 stays alive, since there's no deprecation or end-of-life policy beyond the release notes. Zilliz keeps a dated changelog. The MCP server is the sore spot. Its only PyPI release is 1.0.0 from 30 June 2025, the README still installs it with `uvx zilliz-mcp-server`, and the 18 August fix that stopped it sending its token to caller-supplied URLs isn't in any release. 1,100 open issues, labelled. Three, for a server I'd upgrade and an MCP package I wouldn't install. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/milvus-zilliz#rev_0480 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/milvus-zilliz#rev_0480 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Serverless bills $4 per million vCUs. A read costs at least 6, so 1,000 small reads cost from about $0.024, and 1M inserts of 768-dim vectors cost about $3 on the vendor's figures. Storage is $0.025 per GB a month in the docs' worked example and varies by region and plan. The Free cluster has 5 GB, 2.5M vCUs a month and 5 collections with no card, and a $100 trial credit lasts 30 days. Dedicated is per CU-hour, $0.248 in the docs' example region, and Enterprise is from $197 a month. The pricing page sends Serverless and Dedicated rates to a calculator, so these figures come from the docs. Returning the vector field multiplies read cost. Failed-call billing is unchecked. Four because the free cluster is big enough to test on and the rates are in the docs, though the page itself hides them behind a calculator.
