⚡ Bolt: Replace row-wise squared Euclidean norms with np.einsum

[stffns]

💡 What: Replaced row-wise squared Euclidean norm calculations ((X ** 2).sum(axis=1) or (X * X).sum(axis=1)) with np.einsum('ij,ij->i', X, X).
🎯 Why: Squaring then summing 2D arrays creates a large intermediate allocation in NumPy, making it slow in hot loops.
📊 Impact: Eliminating intermediate allocations leads to ~3-5x faster batch norm calculation, speeding up operations like k-means initialization, assignment, and vector addition.
🔬 Measurement: Check the runtime of add_batch and clustering. This optimizes the hot path used in np.linalg.norm and manual squared norms.

👋 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!

Warning

Review limit reached

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

Next review available in: 50 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

Squared-distance norm calculations across k-means, PQ, and IVFPQ now use np.einsum, preserving existing distance shapes, assignments, rankings, and outputs.

Changes

Distance calculations

Layer / File(s)	Summary
K-means distance utilities snapvec/_kmeans.py	K-means initialization, MSE, assignment, and probe scoring use einsum for squared norms while retaining existing distance formulas and outputs.
PQ and IVFPQ distance paths snapvec/_pq.py, snapvec/_ivfpq.py	PQ and IVFPQ encoding and probe-ranking calculations use einsum while preserving centroid selection and ranking behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Poem

A rabbit bounds through norms so neat,
With einsum quick beneath its feet.
K-means, PQ, and IVFPQ align,
Their distances follow one crisp design.
No codes or rankings lose their way—
Hop, hop, faster sums today!
