+## v0.6 핵심 기능
+
+### Random Hadamard Transform (RHT)
+
+양자화 전 벡터를 회전하여 **MSE 3.5배 감소**:
+
+```c
+// RHT 없이: MSE = 0.099
+// RHT 적용: MSE = 0.028 (3.54배 개선)
+tq_quantize_keys_rht(ctx, keys, n, head_dim, TQ_TYPE_UNIFORM_4B, seed, out, size);
+```
+
+RHT는 좌표 간 상관관계를 제거하여 스칼라 양자화를 최적화합니다. TurboQuant 논문의 핵심 기법.
+
+### K/V 비대칭 양자화
+
+키는 방향 보존, 값은 진폭 보존 — 서로 다른 비트 할당:
+
+```c
+// Key 4bit (고품질) + Value 2bit (고압축) = 평균 3.25 bit
+tq_quantize_kv(ctx, keys, values, n, head_dim,
+               TQ_TYPE_UNIFORM_4B, TQ_TYPE_UNIFORM_2B,
+               key_out, key_size, val_out, val_size);
+```
+
+### Mixed Precision 아웃라이어
+
+극단값 채널을 fp16으로 분리, 나머지 4bit → 범위 압축 극대화:
+
+```c
+// 아웃라이어 데이터: uniform_4b MSE = 0.15 → mixed_4b8 MSE = 0.01 (10배 개선)
+tq_quantize_keys(ctx, keys, n, head_dim, TQ_TYPE_MIXED_4B8, out, size);

+
+## Key Features (v0.6)
+
+### Random Hadamard Transform (RHT)
+
+Pre-rotate vectors before quantization for **3.5x MSE reduction**:
+
+```c
+// Without RHT: MSE = 0.099 on non-uniform data
+// With RHT:    MSE = 0.028 (3.54x better)
+tq_quantize_keys_rht(ctx, keys, n, head_dim, TQ_TYPE_UNIFORM_4B, seed, out, size);
+```
+
+RHT removes inter-coordinate correlation, making scalar quantization near-optimal. This is the core technique from the TurboQuant paper.
+
+### K/V Asymmetric Quantization
+
+Keys need direction preservation, values need amplitude preservation — use different bit widths:
+
+```c
+// Key 4-bit (high quality) + Value 2-bit (high compression) = avg 3.25 bits
+tq_quantize_kv(ctx, keys, values, n, head_dim,
+               TQ_TYPE_UNIFORM_4B,   // keys: 4-bit
+               TQ_TYPE_UNIFORM_2B,   // values: 2-bit
+               key_out, key_size, val_out, val_size);
+```
+
+Matches llama.cpp's `--cache-type-k` / `--cache-type-v` pattern.
+
+### Mixed Precision Outlier Detection
+
+A few channels have extreme values that waste min-max dynamic range. Store outliers at fp16, rest at 4-bit:
+
+```c
+// Outlier data: uniform_4b MSE = 0.15, mixed_4b8 MSE = 0.01 (10x+ better)
+tq_quantize_keys(ctx, keys, n, head_dim, TQ_TYPE_MIXED_4B8, out, size);
+```
