Quantization Methods for LLMs: GPTQ, AWQ, and BitsAndBytes
Last year, I needed to run a 13B parameter model on a 16GB GPU. Full precision required 52GB. After testing GPTQ, AWQ, and BitsAndBytes, I reduced memory to 7GB with minimal accuracy loss. After quantizing 30+ models, I’ve learned which method works best for each scenario. Here’s the complete guide to LLM quantization. Figure 1:… Continue reading
Advanced LoRA Techniques: Multi-LoRA, LoRA+, and Beyond
Last year, I fine-tuned a 7B parameter model with standard LoRA. It worked, but accuracy was 5% lower than full fine-tuning. After experimenting with Multi-LoRA, LoRA+, and advanced techniques, I’ve achieved 98% of full fine-tuning performance with 1% of the parameters. Here’s everything you need to know about advanced LoRA techniques. Figure 1: LoRA Techniques… Continue reading
