required memory by 4x, but it will also reduce the precision of the vectors and
increase disk usage for the field (by up to 25%). Increased disk usage is a
result of {es} storing both the quantized and the unqantized vectors.
result of {es} storing both the quantized and the unquantized vectors.
For example, an increase in disk usage by 10GB can result in a 30GB reduction in required memory.

For `float` vectors with `dim` greater than or equal to `384`, using a
<<dense-vector-quantization,`quantized`>> index is highly recommended.
