Intel's proprietary LVQ and LeanVec optimizations are not available in Redis Open Source by default. However, you can build Redis from source using the `BUILD_INTEL_SVS_OPT=yes` flag with the aforementioned optimizations enabled (see [Redis README page](https://github.com/redis/redis?tab=readme-ov-file#running-redis-with-the-query-engine-and-optional-proprietary-intel-svs-vamana-optimisations)). +On non-Intel platforms and Redis Open Source platforms, `SVS-VAMANA` with `COMPRESSION` will fall back to basic, 8-bit scalar quantization implementation: all values in a vector are scaled using the global minimum and maximum, and then each dimension is quantized independently into 256 levels using 8-bit precision. {{< /warning >}} **Example**
