**Multi-vector representations use ~170x more memory** than single-vector models for the same number of documents. This is where quantization becomes essential.

- Scale visualization showing 1M documents: 3 GB vs 512 GB

## Quantization: Compressing Without Losing Quality
|

|

**Vector quantization** reduces memory by representing vectors with fewer bits while preserving the relative distances between them. Qdrant supports several quantization methods optimized for different scenarios.

For ColModernVBERT's **128 dimensions**, binary quantization presents unique challenges. With such low dimensionality, each bit of precision has a larger impact on the representation. The choice between scalar and binary quantization - and which binary variant to use - depends on your specific use case and quality requirements. We'll explore how to evaluate these trade-offs systematically in the final lesson of this module.

- For each: show example vector component quantization
|

- Display memory savings: 32x, 24x, 16x respectively
|

- Include dimension recommendations for each
|

- Use color coding: 1-bit (red/blue binary), 1.5-bit (3 colors), 2-bit (4 colors)
|

- Add note that ColModernVBERT's 128 dims is below recommended range for binary quantization
|
||||
- Highlight that scalar quantization is preferred for low-dimensional vectors
