Types of LLM Quantization: By Timing, Scope, and Mapping
TLDR: There is no single "best" LLM quantization. You classify and choose quantization along three axes: when you quantize (timing), what you quantize (scope), and how values are encoded (mapping). In practice, most teams start with weight quantizati...

LLM Model Quantization: Why, When, and How to Deploy Smaller, Faster Models
TLDR: Quantization converts high-precision model weights and activations (FP16/FP32) into lower-precision formats (INT8 or INT4) so LLMs run with less memory, lower latency, and lower cost. The key is choosing the right quantization method for your a...
