// ! Advanced Vector Quantization
//!
//! Scalar Quantization (SQ) and Binary Quantization (BQ) for extreme compression.
//!
//! ## Compression Methods
//!
//! 1. **Scalar Quantization (SQ8)** - 8-bit quantization (4x compression)
//! 2. **Scalar Quantization (SQ4)** - 4-bit quantization (8x compression)
//! 3. **Binary Quantization (BQ)** - 1-bit quantization (32x compression)
//!
//! ## Trade-offs
//!
//! | Method | Compression | Recall | Speed |
//! |--------|-------------|--------|-------|
//! | Float32 | 1x | 100% | 1x |
//! | SQ8 | 4x | 98-99% | 2-3x |
//! | SQ4 | 8x | 95-97% | 3-4x |
//! | BQ | 32x | 85-95% | 4-8x |
