Voyage-3-large Matryoshka Quantization — 8x Storage Reduction, <0.3% Quality Loss.
Story
The #1 MTEB embedding model supports float8 + PCA combinations achieving 8x compression. A 1TB vector index becomes ~125GB. Binary quantization available for extreme compression. 12.6M tokens/hour at $0.22/1M tokens on ml.g6.xlarge. Voyage AI Blog
