Data Collection and Preparation

Model Quantization

  • Consider the specific requirements and constraints of the language model to determine the best quantization method.
  • Choose between post-training quantization or quantization-aware training based on the available resources and the desired level of accuracy.
  • Implement the selected quantization method on the language model.
  • Follow the guidelines and instructions provided by the chosen quantization method's documentation or framework.
  • Assess the quantized model's accuracy, inference speed, memory footprint, and other relevant metrics.
  • Compare the performance of the quantized model with the original model to determine the impact of quantization on various aspects.
  • Analyze the performance of the quantized model and identify any areas for improvement.
  • Adjust the model's hyperparameters, training data, or optimization techniques to fine-tune the quantized model.
  • Iteratively train and evaluate the model to achieve the desired accuracy and performance metrics.
