Milvus explains SQ, PQ and PRQ compression in HNSW indexes

Quantization does not just shrink memory; it changes which vectors get connected during graph build and how candidates are ranked at query time, so accuracy trade-offs are not obvious from bit-widths alone. Teams sizing Milvus deployments should set a recall target first, then compare loaded memory, throughput and build time including refinement costs. PRQ buys back accuracy that PQ loses, at the price of extra compute and storage.

Hands-On Large Language Models Book Explains LLMs With 300 Illustrations

The book devotes an entire track to embedding-based applications — classification, clustering, semantic search and training your own embedding models — which most LLM books skip in favour of generation. Practitioners building RAG pipelines or fine-tuning encoder models can follow its open-source code directly. Alammar's Illustrated Transformer explanations have been standard university course references since 2018, so this is a systematically structured successor to material many already know.
