UnverifiedThe cost of pgvector is its scalability ceiling: constrained by single-machine memory and index structure, at vector counts above tens of millions or under extremely high-concurrency low-latency requirements, it usually needs sharding or a dedicated distributed solution as a fallback.71% similarUnverifiedFor applications with vector scale below tens of millions and insensitivity to latency, pgvector's existing indexes may already be sufficient, and there is no need to introduce new dependencies.67% similarUnverifiedIn ultra-long context inference scenarios, the performance bottleneck is often not compute but the KV cache itself.61% similarUnverifiedUnder VRAM-constrained conditions, the model quantization level has a greater impact on performance than the KV cache quantization level.61% similarUnverified块划分粒度是多目标优化问题：块越小近似精度越高但元数据开销增大且GPU并行效率降低60% similar
