LLMs Are Too
Expensive & Slow

A single GPT-4 level model costs $200K+/year to run. Inference is slow. Mobile deployment? Forget it.

How Quantization Works

The science behind model compression

1

Original Model (FP32)

Neural networks store weights as 32-bit floating point numbers

Storage
32 bits per weight
Example Value
3.141592653589793
2

Quantization (INT8)

Convert to 8-bit integers, reducing precision but maintaining range

Storage
8 bits per weight
Example Value
3 (rounded)
3

Aggressive (INT4)

Further compress to 4-bit integers for maximum compression

Storage
4 bits per weight
Example Value
3 (limited range)
