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: […]

Introduction: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the go-to architecture for building LLM applications that need access to private or current information. By retrieving relevant documents and including them in the prompt, RAG grounds LLM responses in factual content, reducing hallucinations and enabling knowledge that wasn’t in the training data. But naive RAG implementations often disappoint—the […]
