What Hacker News says

3 sources
I built TurboQuant+ (https://github.com/TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant), the llama.cpp implementation of this paper with extensions: asymmetric K/V compression, boundary layer protection, sparse V dequant, and this week weight compression (TQ4_1S) that shrinks models 28-42%% on disk with minimal quality loss. 5k+ stars, 50+ community testers across Metal, CUDA, and AMD HIP. Cool to see the same WHT + Lloyd-Max math applied to vector search. The data-oblivious codebook property is exactly what makes it work for online KV cache compression too. No calibration, no training, just quantize and go. If anyone is running local LLMs and wants to try it: https://github.com/TheTom/turboquant_plus/blob/main/docs/get...
