Quantize Llama 3 8b With Bitsandbytes to Preserve Its Accuracy
Llama 2 vs. Llama 3 vs. Mistral 7B, quantized with GPTQ and Bitsandbytes
Towards Data Science 8:31 pm on May 27, 2024
Quantized Llama 3 reduces model size for GPU compatibility using Bitsandbytes without GPTQ, preserving accuracy over other models like Llama 2 and Mistral 7. Benjamin Marie discusses LLM quantization as a compression method in an article published by Towards Data Science.
- Quantized Llama 3 uses Bitsandbytes for size reduction
- Preserves accuracy compared to Llama 2 and Mistral 7
- No need for GPTQ, enhancing GPU compatibility
- Benjamin Marie authored the Towards Data Science article
- LLM quantization serves as a model compression method
