Hasn't this been the case for a while? I vaguely remember using the optimal e8 packing to try to get denser product quantization for vector embeddings.

How did you apply e8 to vector embeddings?

Chunk up your 128D embedding into 16 8D pieces, then quantize using the optimal packing points. Performs worse than k-means in my experience.
