gptq

Quantizes LLMs to 4-bit (also 3-bit) with GPTQ using group-wise quantization (group size 128 by default), via AutoGPTQ and transformers. Covers loading pre-quantized GPTQ models, quantizing your own model, choosing group size, selecting ExLlamaV2, Marlin, or Triton kernels, and QLoRA fine-tuning with PEFT. Use when fitting 70B-class models onto limited or consumer GPUs, cutting memory about 4x versus FP16, speeding up inference, finding pre-quantized checkpoints on HuggingFace, or fine-tuning a quantized model with LoRA. For slightly better accuracy on newer GPUs use AWQ instead, and for simple 8-bit or on-the-fly quantization use bitsandbytes.
