Quantization is a method of reducing the size of AI models so they can be run on more modest computers. The challenge is how to do this while still retaining as much of the model quality as possible, ...

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 ...

In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated quantum effects in an electric circuit, an advance that underlies today’s quantum computers.
