feat: add optional Q8 quantized model support

- Add Q8 quantized models (75% smaller than FP32)
- Enhance download scripts with model variant selection
- Add smart model loading with availability detection
- Implement runtime warnings for Q8 compatibility
- Update documentation with Q8 usage examples
- Maintain 100% backward compatibility (FP32 default)

BREAKING CHANGE: None - FP32 remains default

 const brain = new BrainyData()

 ## 📦 Model Info
 
+### FP32 (Default)
 - **Model**: All-MiniLM-L6-v2 
 - **Dimensions**: 384 (fixed)
-- **Size**: ~80MB download, ~330MB uncompressed
-- **Location**: `./models/Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2/`
+- **Size**: 90MB
+- **Accuracy**: 100% (baseline)
+- **Location**: `./models/Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2/onnx/model.onnx`
+
+### Q8 (Optional - v2.8.0+)
+- **Model**: All-MiniLM-L6-v2 (quantized)
+- **Dimensions**: 384 (same)
+- **Size**: 23MB (75% smaller!)
+- **Accuracy**: ~99% (minimal loss)
+- **Location**: `./models/Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2/onnx/model_quantized.onnx`
+
+**⚠️ Important**: FP32 and Q8 create different embeddings and are incompatible!
