Fun fact: We've implemented binary embedding search [1] without the need for a specialized vector database. Instead, dimensional tokens like 'embedding_0_0', 'embedding_1_0' are created and being built into the tantivy index [2].

We're satisfied with the quality and performance this approach yields, while still keep Tabby embed everything into a single binary.
