Turbovec – Google's TurboQuant for vector search in Rust

3 hours ago (github.com)

Wow! 4GB for 10 million documents. This means one could build a reverse index much faster than before and devx processes like debugging, performance testing would become much smoother. Can't wait for the sqlite bindings to come out!

It would be nice to have the README be a little more human written for a project where you actually want people to adopt it

  • Anthropic employee. This is what your brain on kool aid looks like

    • Then again, if the only thing the human doing is bitching about AI use, it's not really that comparatively useful.

This looks perfect for local, privacy first search, but since it's built in Rust, has anyone tried compiling it to WASM to run directly inside a browser extension?

Bloviating nonsense, 3rd time I’ve seen something like this in HN since TurboQuant came out. You don’t need float32, never did. Source: I’ve been writing on device embedding code for 4 years.
