the original TurboQuant paper tested on A100 with models up to 8B.
6 days later, a bunch of strangers on the internet had it built and running on:
- Apple Silicon M1 through M5
- NVIDIA 3080 Ti through DGX Spark Blackwell
- AMD RX 6800 XT and 9070
- a 10-year-old Tesla P40
- an 8GB MacBook Air
- models from 3.8B to 70B across 6 architecture families
- 30+ independent testers
along the way we found new optimizations the paper didn't cover and failure modes it didn't test.
the fact that a loose group of people across the world can read a paper, build implementations from scratch, stress-test across hardware none of us could individually afford, and push the research further in under a week is genuinely one of the best things about this era. the tools and the community make it possible.
open source is something else.
My dear front-end developers (and anyone whoโs interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
