Description

### Feature request

Is there a way of receiving the embeddings back in BQ format? Right now, I receive the full precision embedding and quantize it in the client, but wondering if I'm missing a way to get this directly from the server in binary format? If static quantization is done at zero, then there's no need to profile the data so the server can still remain stateless.

### Motivation

More compact response from server.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the server's embedding response path and any existing quantization support, then evaluate whether static binary quantization can be returned directly; done means a defined binary response format with measured embedding quality and a compact server response.
