Introduction We all know that Large Language Models are growing in size and complexity. Finding ways to reduce their computational and energy cost is getting difficult. One popular method to reduce cost is quantization. In quantization, we reduce the precision of parameters from the standard 16-bit floating point (FP16) or 32-bit floating point (FP32) to […] The post How to Fine-tune LLMs to 1.58 bits?
