MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB), a leading database for modern applications, has announced its acquisition of Voyage AI, a pioneer in state-of-the-art embedding and reranking models for next-generation AI applications. The integration of Voyage AI’s technology with MongoDB aims to enable organizations to build trustworthy AI-powered applications by offering highly accurate and relevant information retrieval deeply integrated with operational data.

Voyage AI’s advanced embedding and reranking models are designed to extract meaning from highly specialized and domain-specific text and unstructured data, ranging from legal and financial documents to images, code, and enterprise knowledge bases. Notably, Voyage AI's embedding models are the highest-rated zero-shot models in the Hugging Face community, and the company is trusted by leading AI innovators like Anthropica, Langchain, Harvey, and Replit.

The acquisition is positioned to address the limitations of AI applications due to the risk of "hallucinations" caused by inaccurate or low-quality results. This is especially critical in use cases where the accuracy of information is paramount, such as in healthcare, finance, and legal sectors. MongoDB's CEO, Dev Ittycheria, emphasized that the combination of MongoDB and Voyage AI aims to redefine the requirements of databases for the AI era, aiming to enable enterprises to build trustworthy AI-powered applications that drive meaningful business impact.

Tengyu Ma, founder of Voyage AI, highlighted that for AI applications to reach their full potential, businesses must trust their outputs, requiring accurate and relevant retrieval deeply integrated with operational data. By joining MongoDB, Voyage AI aims to bring its cutting-edge AI retrieval technology to a broader audience and integrate it seamlessly into mission-critical applications.

Voyage AI’s embedding and reranking models will remain available through Voyage.AI, AWS Marketplace, and Azure Marketplace, with further MongoDB integrations expected to launch later this year.

Headquartered in New York, MongoDB’s unified, intelligent data platform is built to power the next generation of applications. MongoDB is the most widely available, globally distributed database on the market, with integrated capabilities for operational data, search, real-time analytics, and AI-powered retrieval. The company serves millions of developers and more than 50,000 customers, including 70% of the Fortune 100. Today the company's shares have moved -2.2% to a price of $267.14.
