: To reduce the memory footprint of LLMs (like Llama) enough to fit on a single GPU (e.g., a 24GB RTX 3090) while maintaining full 16-bit performance. : A process that quantizes the quantization constants
: A feature to handle memory spikes during training by offloading to CPU RAM. 🔬 Key Technical Details NF4.rar
The paper explains why NF4 is superior to standard 4-bit integers (Int4) or floating-point (Float4) formats:
