Why not just use Qdrant? They've been integrating TurboQuant for months, works well.
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?
oxirs does embeddings and GraphRAG, and full text search with Tantivy; oxirs-vec, oxirs-graphrag
There's an oxirs-wasm with RDF and SPARQL bindings with a query budget. Tantivy-wasm says that the release WASM bundle is 1.5 MB.

Is there an advantage to adding an MCP local memory interface over agent instructions on how to use a rust CLI?
And then write Markdown documents with Google OKF-like frontmatter YAML metadata for agents that work with tokens not linked data graphs; https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/knowledge-catalog/blo...
If anyone is looking to retrofit to an existing pipeline, I use similar ideas to compress vectors for job search, getting roughly 8x compression with about a 3.5% drop in quality. My experiment: https://corvi.careers/blog/vector-search-embedding-compressi...
Well. That is insane. O_O Fantastic job!

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.
what could i use this for as part of my agentic workflow? codebase indexing? docs ?
lancedb and duckdb integrations would be great...
