Vector Database — Qdrant

Evaluates Qdrant's Quantization & Optimization across 9 scenario-based test cases, each graded against an expected-behavior rubric by an LLM judge, from Corsac's Vector Database eval coverage.

About Qdrant

Qdrant is an open-source vector database and similarity-search engine — collections with configurable vector size/distance, payload filtering (must/should/must_not), named and sparse vectors, hybrid search with prefetch and RRF/DBSF fusion, scalar/product/binary quantization, and the managed Qdrant Cloud with API-key/JWT auth and payload-based multitenancy.

To cut memory, agent enables scalar (int8) quantization with quantization_config={scalar:{type:'int8', always_ram:true}}.

Enable scalar int8 quantization to shrink vector memory ~4x; place quantized vectors always_ram for fast first-stage search while keeping originals on disk for rescore. Validate recall after enabling — quantization trades a small accuracy loss for memory/speed. [REQUIRES-VERIFICATION] on exact reca…

With quantization enabled, agent sets search params.quantization={rescore:true, oversampling:2.0} to recover recall.

At query time, oversampling fetches more candidates from the quantized index than limit, then rescore re-ranks them against the original (un-quantized) vectors so final top-k recall approaches un-quantized quality. Tune oversampling vs latency; rescore requires the originals to be available.

Agent enables binary quantization on 1536-dim OpenAI embeddings for maximum memory savings.

Binary quantization (~32x compression) suits high-dimension embeddings that tolerate it (large OpenAI/Cohere vectors are common candidates); pair with oversampling + rescore to recover recall and validate on a labeled set. It is a poor fit for low-dimension vectors. Confirm the accuracy floor on yo…
