A new method called TurboQuant has been developed to compress AI vectors, such as those in KV caches and attention keys, to as few as 2-4 bits per number without sacrificing accuracy. This technique relies on the principle that a random rotation can transform input vectors into a distribution where coordinates follow a predictable pattern. By using a pre-designed codebook for this distribution, TurboQuant can efficiently compress vectors from various inputs. AI
