## ⚡ TurboQuant KV-Cache Compression

RuvLTRA models are fully compatible with **TurboQuant** — 2-4 bit KV-cache quantization that reduces inference memory by 6-8x with <0.5% quality loss.

| Quantization | Compression | Quality Loss | Best For |
|-------------|-------------|--------------|----------|
| 3-bit | 10.7x | <1% | **Recommended** — best balance |
| 4-bit | 8x | <0.5% | High quality, long context |
| 2-bit | 32x | ~2% | Edge devices, max savings |

### Usage with RuvLLM

```bash
cargo add ruvllm    # Rust
npm install @ruvector/ruvllm   # Node.js
```

```rust
use ruvllm::quantize::turbo_quant::{TurboQuantCompressor, TurboQuantConfig, TurboQuantBits};

let config = TurboQuantConfig {
    bits: TurboQuantBits::Bit3_5, // 10.7x compression
    use_qjl: true,
    ..Default::default()
};
let compressor = TurboQuantCompressor::new(config)?;
let compressed = compressor.compress_batch(&kv_vectors)?;
let scores = compressor.inner_product_batch_optimized(&query, &compressed)?;
```

### v2.1.0 Ecosystem

- **Hybrid Search** — Sparse + dense vectors with RRF fusion (20-49% better retrieval)
- **Graph RAG** — Knowledge graph + community detection for multi-hop queries
- **DiskANN** — Billion-scale SSD-backed ANN with <10ms latency
- **FlashAttention-3** — IO-aware tiled attention, O(N) memory
- **MLA** — Multi-Head Latent Attention (~93% KV-cache compression)
- **Mamba SSM** — Linear-time selective state space models
- **Speculative Decoding** — 2-3x generation speedup
