Recent developments in the field of vector embeddings have shown significant advancements in reducing memory usage while maintaining retrieval accuracy. Strategies such as binary quantization and product quantization have been implemented to achieve this goal. For instance, binary embeddings have successfully reduced memory usage by over 98% while retaining more than 90% of model performance. New quantization methods like QuIP and LoftQ have also emerged, offering improved preprocessing and outperforming existing quantization techniques for large language models.
