bitsandbytes is a library used to apply 8-bit and 4-bit quantization to models. It can be used during training for mixed-precision training or before inference to make the model smaller.
8-bit quantization enables multi-billion parameter scale models to fit in smaller hardware without degrading performance. 8bit quantization works as follows 👇
8-bit quantization enables multi-billion parameter scale models to fit in smaller hardware without degrading performance too much. 8bit quantization works as follows 👇
1. Extract the larger values (outliers) columnwise from the input hidden states.
2. Perform the matrix multiplication of the outliers in FP16 and the non-outliers in int8.
