## What is Milvus's llms.txt?

Milvus publishes an `/llms.txt` file that provides AI systems with a structured index of its documentation. It follows the [llms.txt specification](https://llmstxt.org), organizing links to guides, API references, and tutorials under section headings so that LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can quickly understand what Milvus offers and where to find details.

What is Milvus?

Milvus is an open-source, high-performance vector database designed for similarity search and AI applications. It supports billion-scale vector storage and search across deployment modes: Milvus Lite (embedded, for prototyping), Milvus Standalone (single-node, for small-scale production), and Milvus Distributed (Kubernetes, for enterprise scale). The primary SDK is PyMilvus for Python; Java, Go, Node.js, and RESTful SDKs are also available. Always check PyPI (`pip install --upgrade pymilvus`) or npm for the latest SDK version rather than relying on memorized version numbers.. Milvus's llms.txt file helps AI systems understand this by providing a structured overview of its documentation, making it easier for developers to get accurate AI-assisted help when working with Milvus.

Can I generate an llms.txt for my own project?

Yes. Use the free llms.txt generator at mdream.dev/tools/llms-txt/generator to crawl your site and produce a spec-compliant llms.txt file. You can also validate existing files with the llms.txt validator.
