| **Binary Quantization** | • **Fastest method and most memory-efficient**
• Up to **40x** faster search and **32x** reduced memory footprint | • Use with tested models like OpenAI's `text-embedding-ada-002` and Cohere's `embed-english-v2.0`
• When speed and memory efficiency are critical |
| **Scalar Quantization** | • **Minimal loss of accuracy**
• Up to **4x** reduced memory footprint | • Safe default choice for most applications.
• Offers a good balance between accuracy, speed, and compression. |
-| **Product Quantization** | • **Highest compression ratio**
• Up to **64x** reduced memory footprint | • When minimizing memory usage is the top priority
• Acceptable if some loss of accuracy is tolerable |
