- [IVF-SQ8 Index](https://vectordb.ever.works/th/items/ivf-sq8-index) — A quantization-based vector indexing algorithm that combines Inverted File Index (IVF) with 8-bit scalar quantization (SQ8). Designed to tackle large-scale similarity search challenges, achieving faster searches with a much smaller memory footprint compared to exhaustive search methods by using 8-bit integers instead of 32-bit floats.
