Reducing the precision of model weights can make deep neural networks run faster in less GPU memory, while preserving model accuracy. If ever there were a salient example of a counter-intuitive ...

DeepSeek-R1, released by a Chinese AI company, has the same performance as OpenAI's inference model o1, but its model data is open source. Unsloth, an AI development team run by two brothers, Daniel ...

It turns out the rapid growth of AI has a massive downside: namely, spiraling power consumption, strained infrastructure and runaway environmental damage. It’s clear the status quo won’t cut it ...

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, announced Better Binary Quantization (BBQ) in Elasticsearch. BBQ is a new quantization approach developed from insights ...

Model quantization bridges the gap between the computational limitations of edge devices and the demands for highly accurate models and real-time intelligent applications. The convergence of ...

The reason why large language models are called ‘large’ is not because of how smart they are, but as a factor of their sheer size in bytes. At billions of parameters at four bytes each, they pose a ...
