Show HN: TurboQuant-WASM – Google's vector quantization in the browser (github.com) AI

TurboQuant-WASM is an experimental npm/WASM project that brings Google’s TurboQuant vector quantization algorithm to the browser and Node using relaxed SIMD, targeting about 3–4.5 bits per dimension with fast approximate dot products. The repo includes a TypeScript API for initializing, encoding, decoding, and dot-scoring compressed vectors, plus tests that verify bit-identical outputs versus a reference Zig implementation. It requires relatively new runtimes (e.g., Chrome 114+, Firefox 128+, Safari 18+, Node 20+) due to the SIMD instruction set.
