I wholeheartedly agree :) I've mostly put this together this weekend, so I haven't had time to do everything yet, but that's definitely on the todo list.
I FT'd some siglip models (see here: https://huggingface.co/carsonpoole/binary-siglip-text) that should be amenable to binary quantization so I'm going to tomorrow get an inference server running with that and then hopefully do the typical MTEB benchmarks for embeddings
There are also FAISS binary indexes[0], so it'd be great to compare binary index vs binary index. Otherwise it seems a little misleading to say it is a FAISS vs not FAISS comparison, since really it would be a binary index vs not binary index comparison. I'm not too familiar with binary indexes, so if there's a significant difference between the types of binary index then it'd be great to explain what that is too.
