- [ ] **Broadcast operation failure while using simsimd beyond v3.7.7**:
- **Description:** I was using simsimd 4.3.1 and the unsupported operand
type issue popped up. When I checked out the repo and ran the tests,
they failed as well (have attached a screenshot for that). Looks like it
is a variant of https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/18022 .
Prior to 3.7.7, simd.cdist returned an ndarray but now it returns
simsimd.DistancesTensor which is ineligible for a broadcast operation
with numpy. With this change, it also remove the need to explicitly cast
`Z` to numpy array
- **Issue:** #19905
- **Dependencies:** No

- [ ] **Considerations**:
1. I started with community but since similar changes were there in
Milvus, MongoDB, Pinecone, and QDrant so I modified their files as well.
If touching multiple packages in one PR is not the norm, then I can
remove them from this PR and raise separate ones
2. I have run and verified that the tests work. Since, only MongoDB had
tests, I ran theirs and verified it works as well. Screenshots attached

I have added a test for simsimd. I feel it may not go well with the
CI/CD setup as installing simsimd is not a dependency requirement. I
have just imported simsimd to ensure simsimd cosine similarity is
invoked. However, its not a good approach. Suggestions are welcome and I
can make the required changes on the PR. Please provide guidance on the
same as I am new to the community.

If you use an embedding dist function in an eval loop, you get warned
every time. Would prefer to just check once and forget about it.

This patch fixes the #18022 issue, converting the SimSIMD internal
zero-copy outputs to NumPy.
I've also noticed, that oftentimes `dtype=np.float32` conversion is used
before passing to SimSIMD. Which numeric types do LangChain users
generally care about? We support `float64`, `float32`, `float16`, and
`int8` for cosine distances and `float16` seems reasonable for
practically any kind of embeddings and any modern piece of hardware, so
we can change that part as well 🤗
