INT8 vs FP8 quantization

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>What's the difference between FP8 or INT8 ? For nvidia you would go FP8 but on ampere you would rely on INT8. On the other side new intel gpu

at what point does quantization stop being a tradeoff and start being actual quality loss

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Been running a few models locally at different quant levels and honestly the jump from Q5 to Q4 sometimes feels like nothing and other times it

Has anyone tested the quantization quality (AWQ/GPTQ/FP8/NVFP4) for Qwen3.5 9B & 27B on vLLM?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I’m planning to deploy the 9B and 27B parameter models using vLLM and was wondering if anyone has done some thorough testing on the non-GGUF

Why exactly can't we use the techniques in TurboQuant on the model's quantizations themselves?

Fine-tuning a 7B model needs 112 GB. The model is only 14 GB of it.

<p>Ask how much memory it takes to fine-tune a 7B model and the instinct is "the model's 14 GB in fp16, so a bit more than that". The real figure is about 112 GB, before you've
