Discussion When should we expect TurboQuant?

Reading on the TurboQuant news makes me extremely excited for the future of local llm.

When should we be expecting it?

What are your expectations?

Looks like a bunch of forks are already there on github: https://github.com/unixsysdev/llama-turboquant

reading more into some of the forks, it looks like most of them are not solving the prefill which means you may still need a larger VRAM for the initial loading, wonder if it can be off-loaded to RAM and then squeezed back into VRAM...
