💡 What: Replace (X ** 2).sum(axis=1) and (X * X).sum(axis=1) with np.einsum('ij,ij->i', X, X).
🎯 Why: Avoids large intermediate array allocations and overhead, improving execution speed significantly.
📊 Impact: ~3-5x execution speedup on row-wise Euclidean norm calculations.
🔬 Measurement: Observe reduction in runtime for K-means training and query encoding/searching.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Improved indexing and search efficiency through faster vector-distance and norm calculations.
    • Optimized product quantization, clustering, and coarse-search operations while preserving existing results.
  • Compatibility

    • Existing exported APIs, persistence formats, and checksum behavior remain unchanged.
    • Loading and saving functionality continues to work as before.

Replaced `(X ** 2).sum(axis=1)` and similar norm computations with
`np.einsum('ij,ij->i', X, X)`. This optimization avoids large
intermediate array allocations for `X ** 2` and reduces execution
time by up to ~3-5x for row-wise norm computations during K-means
training and querying.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@stffns, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 40 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change replaces several squared-norm reductions with numpy.einsum, updates persistence type annotations and context management, and reorders or adjusts module export declarations.

Changes

Distance and API updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared squared-L2 kernels
snapvec/_kmeans.py
K-means initialization, clustering, assignment, and probe scoring use einsum-based squared norms while preserving existing behavior and exports.
PQ and IVF-PQ distance paths
snapvec/_pq.py, snapvec/_ivfpq.py
PQ and IVF-PQ indexing/search norm calculations use einsum; persistence annotations are updated in both index implementations.
Persistence annotations and public surfaces
snapvec/_file_format.py, snapvec/_index.py, snapvec/_residual.py, snapvec/_fast.pyi, snapvec/__init__.py
Checksum persistence context handling and direct type annotations are updated, alongside export ordering, stub header cleanup, and the residual format constant.

Poem

I hopped through norms with a whisker-bright beam,
einsum now crunches each distance supreme.
The types stand direct, the exports align,
Checksums still guard every saved design.
A tidy snapvec—this bunny says, “Fine!”
