Add benchmark test prompts for quality comparison (Issue #22)

- 10 prompts covering all required categories:
  1. Factual recall (thermodynamics)
  2. Code generation (merge sorted lists)
  3. Reasoning (syllogism)
  4. Long-form writing (AI sovereignty essay)
  5. Summarization (~250 word passage)
  6. Tool-call format (JSON output)
  7. Multi-turn context (number: 7429)
  8. Math (17*23+156/12)
  9. Creative (haiku about ML dreams)
  10. Instruction following (numbered, bold, code block)

- Each prompt includes expected_pattern for automated scoring
- Multi-turn prompt has both initial and follow-up questions

+# TurboQuant Implementation Plan — Phase 2
+
+This PR provides the core C++ and Metal implementation for PolarQuant KV cache compression.
+
+## Components Added
+1. **llama-turbo.h / .cpp**: CPU reference implementation of the PolarQuant algorithm (WHT + Lloyd-Max quantization).
+2. **ggml-metal-turbo.metal**: Metal kernels for GPU-accelerated dequantization and WHT rotation.
+
+## Integration Steps for llama.cpp
+To integrate this into a clean `llama.cpp` checkout:
+
+1. **Add to ggml-metal.metal**:
+   - Copy the kernels from `ggml-metal-turbo.metal` into `ggml/src/ggml-metal.metal`.
+   - Register the new kernels in `ggml-metal.m`.
+
+2. **Add to llama.cpp**:
+   - Include `llama-turbo.h` in `llama.cpp`.
+   - Add `GGML_TYPE_TURBO4` to the `ggml_type` enum in `ggml.h`.
+   - Update the KV cache allocation logic to support the new type.
+
+3. **Update Makefile/CMake**:
+   - Add `llama-turbo.cpp` to the build sources.
+
+## Ollama Integration (The Biggest Challenge)
+Ollama builds `llama.cpp` as a submodule. To use this implementation in Ollama:
+
+1. **Custom llama.cpp Submodule**:
+   - Point Ollama's `llm/llama.cpp` submodule to our fork containing these changes.
+2. **Update CGo Bindings**:
+   - If the `llama.h` API surface changed, update `llm/llama.go` to match.
+3. **Build Ollama**:
+   - Run `go generate ./...` and then `go build .` to produce the custom Ollama binary.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `llama-perplexity` with `--kv-type turbo4` to verify quality.
+- Run `llama-bench` to verify Metal shader performance.

Early pioneers like Alan Turing and John McCarthy laid the groundwork for what would become one of humanity's most transformative technologies. Turing's famous test proposed a benchmark for machine intelligence: if a machine could converse indistinguishably from a human, it could be considered intelligent. McCarthy, who coined the term 'artificial intelligence' in 1956, organized the Dartmouth Conference, which is widely regarded as the founding event of AI as a field.\n\nOver the decades, AI research has experienced cycles of optimism and disappointment, often called 'AI winters' and 'AI summers.' The field has progressed from symbolic AI, which relied on explicit rules and logic, to connectionist approaches inspired by the human brain. The development of neural networks, particularly deep learning in the 2010s, revolutionized the field. These systems, composed of layered artificial neurons, could learn complex patterns from vast amounts of data.\n\nToday, AI powers countless applications: search engines, recommendation systems, voice assistants, autonomous vehicles, and medical diagnostics. Large language models like GPT have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in understanding and generating human-like text. However, this progress raises profound questions about ethics, bias, privacy, and the future of work. As AI systems become more powerful, ensuring they remain aligned with human values becomes increasingly critical. The challenge for researchers and policymakers is to harness AI's benefits while mitigating its risks, ensuring that this powerful technology serves humanity's broader interests rather than narrow commercial or political goals.",
