Available today, PyTorch 1.3 comes with the ability to quantize a model for inference on to either server or mobile devices. Quantization is a way to perform computation at reduced precision.

One of the two new open-weight models from OpenAI can bring ChatGPT-like reasoning to your Mac with no subscription needed.

Torchao is a PyTorch native library that makes machine learning models faster and smaller for training or inference by leveraging low-bit dtypes, sparsity, and quantization.

Look for models with the .gguf extension. Choose a quantization level (e.g., Q4_K_M is a good balance). Download the .gguf file into the llama.cpp/models directory (create it if it doesn’t exist).

“To support more efficient deployment on servers and edge devices, PyTorch 1.3 now supports 8-bit model quantization using the familiar eager mode Python API,” the PyTorch team wrote.

The PyTorch Conference 2024, held by The Linux Foundation, showcased groundbreaking advancements in AI, featuring insights on PyTorch 2.4, Llama 3.1, and open-source projects like OLMo. Key discussion ...

Facebook recently announced the release of PyTorch 1.3. The latest version of the open-source deep learning framework includes new tools for mobile, quantization, privacy, and transparency.
