What Is Model Quantization? How Lower Precision Makes AI Faster and Cheaper

SMRTR summary

Model quantization is a technique that shrinks AI models by storing their internal values using fewer bits of data. This reduces how much memory and energy a model needs, making it faster and cheaper to run. The trade-off is a potential drop in accuracy, so developers must carefully evaluate and tune the settings to balance speed and performance.
