Activation-aware weight quantization that compresses 7B-70B models to 4-bit with minimal accuracy loss, delivering ~3x inference speedups and memory reductions for constrained GPU deployments while integrating with vLLM and Marlin kernels.

Guides ML engineers through dataset prep, PEFT strategy selection, LoRA/QLoRA adapter setup, training monitoring, and deployment checks for practical LLM fine-tuning, quantization, and adapter merge workflows.

This guide details the use of the GGUF format and quantization techniques for running large language models (LLMs) efficiently. GGUF enables optimal inference on consumer hardware, Apple Silicon, and systems requiring CPU-only operation. By compressing models using various K-quant methods (like Q4_K_M), developers can significantly reduce memory footprint and hardware requirements while maintaining high performance.

GPTQ enables post-training 4-bit quantization for large LLMs, delivering up to 4× memory reduction and 3-4× faster inference with under 2% perplexity loss on consumer GPUs through AutoGPTQ, PEFT, and Transformer integrations.

Provides calibration-free weight quantization for LLMs down to 1-bit precision with multiple optimized backends, ideal for fast deployments with vLLM/HuggingFace and LoRA/PEFT fine-tuning without collecting calibration data.

llama.cpp is a pure C/C++ library designed for efficient LLM inference, optimized to run on resource-constrained environments. It excels in scenarios where high-end NVIDIA GPUs (CUDA) are unavailable, making it ideal for Apple Silicon Macs, AMD/Intel GPUs, or edge deployment devices like Raspberry Pi. It supports GGUF quantization formats, enabling significant memory reduction and speed improvements for local, cross-platform AI applications.
