Google’s new algorithm just shrunk 31GB of memory down to 4GB
TurboVec is a new open-source tool that stores the data your AI app searches through, using 16x less memory.
It runs on Google’s TurboQuant, which skips the slow setup step every other tool needs.
→ Faster search than the popular alternative (FAISS) → Works on both Mac and standard servers → Narrow results to exactly what you want → Plugs straight into LangChain and LlamaIndex
Your data never leaves your machine. Runs fully offline, works with Python out of the box.
100% Open Source.

Google has developed a method to shrink AI memory usage from 31GB to 4GB, representing a significant efficiency breakthrough for AI models.
@vintcessun: Compressing 10 million vectors from 31GB to 4GB, with search even faster than FAISS — sounds crazy, but Turbovec actually did it. The core is Google's TurboQuant data-independent quantization: no training, no parameter tuning, just add vectors and index. Handwritten NEON/AVX-512 implementations are genuinely 12-20% faster, supporting filtered search by ID, saving a ton of post-processing hassle. Rust under the hood + pip install, minimal maintenance cost.
