If Google’s AI researchers had a sense of humor, they would have called TurboQuant, the new, ultra-efficient AI memory compression algorithm announced Tuesday, “Pied Piper” — or, at least that’s what ...

Even if you don’t know much about the inner workings of generative AI models, you probably know they need a lot of memory. Hence, it is currently almost impossible to buy a measly stick of RAM without ...

The compression algorithm works by shrinking the data stored by large language models, with Google’s research finding that it can reduce memory usage by at least six times “with zero accuracy loss.” ...

Few online phenomena have divided online opinion more than 100 men versus a gorilla or that darned dress (it was white and gold). But in late March, it was the turn of a Google-authored paper on an ...

AI has a growing memory problem. Google thinks it's found the answer, and it doesn't require more or better hardware. Originally detailed in an April 2025 paper, TurboQuant is an advanced compression ...
