I think the headline is misleading. It's some random fork of llama.cpp, I can't find evidence that TurboQuant was actually added to llama.cpp proper.

The only legit PR I can find is this [0] and it's still open.

There's currently a lot of rejected vibe-coded PRs: [1] (violation of AI policy).

The OP's PR says it was generated with Claude Code so it has a very low chance of getting merged upstream.

I see mentions showing it reduced the size of the models but not how much memory was saved. I guess it depends on how it's used? But I would be very curious to see some benchmarking for that.
