Resource-Efficient Language Models: Quantization for Fast and Accessible Inference
Large language models have significantly advanced natural language processing, yet their heavy resource demands pose severe challenges regarding hardware accessibility and energy consumption. This paper presents a focused and high-level review of post-training quantization (PTQ) techniques designed to optimize the inference efficiency of LLMs by the end-user, including details on various quantization schemes, granularities, and trade-offs. The aim is to provide a balanced overview between the theory and applications of post-training quantization.
