RyanCodrai/turbovec

• highreadme#1

  Reposition the README's opening statement to specify its RAG application

  Why:

  CURRENT

  A 10 million document corpus takes 31 GB of RAM as float32. turbovec fits it in 4 GB - and searches it faster than FAISS.** turbovec is a Rust vector index with Python bindings, built on Google Research's **TurboQuant** algorithm — a data-oblivious quantizer that matches the Shannon lower bound on distortion, with no codebook training and no separate train phase.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  turbovec is a fast, memory-efficient **vector index for RAG applications**, built in Rust with Python bindings. It leverages Google Research's **TurboQuant** algorithm to fit a 10 million document corpus into 4 GB of RAM (from 31 GB as float32) and searches it faster than FAISS. TurboQuant is a data-oblivious quantizer that matches the Shannon lower bound on distortion, with no codebook training and no separate train phase.

  Enhance the 'About' section (Description) to highlight RAG focus and benefits

  Why:

  CURRENT

  A vector index built on TurboQuant, written in Rust with Python bindings

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  A fast, memory-efficient vector index for RAG applications, built on TurboQuant. Written in Rust with Python bindings, it offers online ingestion and superior performance for privacy-sensitive or resource-constrained environments.
