  ## Matryoshka and Binary Quantization
2799
 
2800
- Embeddings in their commonly used form (float arrays) have a high memory footprint when used at scale. Two approaches to solve this problem are Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) and (Binary) Quantization.
2801
 
2802
- While MRL reduces the number of dimensions of an embedding, binary quantization transforms the value of each dimension from a float32 into a lower precision (int8 or even binary). <b> The model supports both approaches! </b>
2803
-
2804
- You can also take it one step further, and combine these. This combination of binary quantization and MRL allows you to reduce the memory usage of your embeddings significantly. This leads to much lower costs when using a vector database in particular. You can read more about the technology and its advantages in our [blog post](https://www.mixedbread.ai/blog/binary-mrl).
