Weaviate v1.37 is now available open-source and on Weaviate Cloud.

This release is all about extending what Weaviate can do — from how it talks to AI agents, to how it analyzes text, to how it handles large-scale operations. Four new preview features join the release: a built-in MCP Server that lets LLMs and IDEs speak to your database natively, Extensible Tokenizers with accent folding and custom stopword presets, Diversity Search (MMR) for less redundant vector results, and Query Profiling for per-shard timing breakdowns. Alongside them, Incremental Backups make backing up massive collections practical, Gemini audio joins the multi2vec-google module, and the new BlobHash property type stores only a hash instead of the full blob.

Here are the release highlights!
