EXPLORE A PERSPECTIVE
The simplest form of technology is the development and use of basic tools. The prehistoric discovery of how to control fire and the later Neolithic Revolution increased the available sources of food, and the invention of the wheel helped humans to travel in and control their environment.

Reducing the memory footprint of large language models doesn’t have to be a headache—it’s all about smart quantisation. By converting parameters from high‑precision formats like 32‑bit floating point into leaner options such as INT8 or INT4, you can dramatically cut down on resource demands. For example, a 4‑bit quantised model uses just 0.5 bytes per […]
