Quantized AI Models: How Bigger Models Fit on Smaller Computers
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and the numbers are close enough—then for all practical purposes, it’s still a duck. That’s quantization. — YNOT! Humans are full of prejudices, shortcuts, and assumptions. For better or worse, these mental shortcuts allow us to process enormous amounts of information quickly and arrive at a conclusion in milliseconds without consciously analyzing every detail. AI quantization works on a somewhat similar principle, although in a far more mathematical way. Instead of preserving every numerical value in a model at maximum precision, quantization simplifies those values while trying to … Continue readingQuantized AI Models: How Bigger Models Fit on Smaller Computers
