Thank you for this most useful extension !
It seems that binary embeddings allow dramatic increase in performance for a small accuracy cost ( https://huggingface.co/blog/embedding-quantization#quantization-experiments ).
Various other vector DB allow to use them :

Faiss Yes
USearch Yes
Vespa AI Yes
Milvus Yes
Qdrant Through Binary Quantization
Weaviate Through Binary Quantization

It would be great if DuckDB vss could also support them efficiently.

EDIT pg_vecor also has it : https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector?tab=readme-ov-file#binary-vectors
Best Regards
