Hi, Vishal,

Better to observe a bit. I'd expect different HNSW implementations to
behave somewhat similarly, but not identically. That is, your values
from Chroma could be a good starting point, but might need some
tweaking.

MariaDB uses a modified version of HNSW that generally produces better
recall than the original algorithm. This difference becomes larger as M
inceases.

What M values do you use?
