Heuristic estimate (AI scoring not configured). ggml-org/llama.cpp: Feature Request: TurboQuant support shows 323 engagement on ghissues. Buildability is inferred from the description; add an AI gateway key for a tailored read.

Deliver it

A starter prompt for Claude Code, what you'll need, and how to reach them.

Build a minimal version of "ggml-org/llama.cpp: Feature Request: TurboQuant support". Read the original at https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues/20977 for the exact requirements, then scaffold a Next.js + Tailwind app, implement the smallest valuable slice first, and ship it. (Enable AI scoring for a tailored, detailed prompt.)

Setup steps

How you'd build it

1Open the project and list its 3-5 core user-facing features.
2Scaffold a Next.js + AI Gateway app and rebuild the smallest valuable slice first.
3Wire any external data/APIs it depends on; stub what you can't access.
4Ship a thin public version and measure whether the demand signal reproduces.

Risks & moats

Description mentions moat-heavy territory (data/hardware/regulation) — the hard part may not be the code.
Heuristic scoring can't judge true novelty or competition — verify manually.

Original context

### Prerequisites - [x] I am running the latest code. Mention the version if possible as well. - [x] I carefully followed the [README.md](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/README.md). - [x] I searched using keywords relevant to my issue to make sure that I am creating a new issue that is not already open (or closed). - [x] I reviewed the [Discussions](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/discussions), and have a new and useful enhancement to share. ### Feature Description Google recently announced TurboQuant - a new quantization method which compresses KV cache using polar coordinates, shrinking memory requirements. https://research.google/blog/turboquant-redefining-ai-efficiency-with-extreme-compression/ Results with MLX seems to be promising as well https://x.com/i/status/2036611007523512397 ### Motivation This would allow to run bigger models on smaller hardware ### Possible Implementation I'm not submitting a PR because I'm literally playing with it with claude now, but if it can help I'm experimenting at https://github.com/mudler/llama.cpp/tree/feat/turbo-quant and currently builds/starts correctly. Still evaluating it.
