Could you build this?
No This is fundamental mathematical and machine learning research conducted by Google researchers focusing on novel quantization theory for LLMs and vector search.
What it would actually take: TurboQuant requires PhD-level expertise in information theory, high-dimensional geometry, linear algebra, and low-level GPU compute. Implementation entails writing custom CUDA/Triton kernels to execute quantized matrix multiplication and vector distance computations with minimal latency overhead while mathematically bounding accuracy loss across varying model architectures.
