What problem does it solve?
GPTQ reduces the memory footprint of large language models while keeping accuracy high, making it practical to deploy models that would otherwise exceed consumer GPU limits.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Post-training 4-bit quantization: Compress pretrained LLMs into efficient 4-bit checkpoints with minimal perplexity loss.
- Calibration and quality tuning: Choose representative calibration data, adjust group size, dampening, and activation ordering, and validate quality after quantization.
- Deployment integration: Load GPTQ models through Transformers, AutoGPTQ, PEFT, vLLM, TGI, or LangChain for real-world inference and fine-tuning workflows.
- Use Case: A team wants to serve a 70B model on a single workstation GPU, so they quantize it with GPTQ, test perplexity, and deploy it with the fastest compatible backend.
Quick Start
Use the gptq skill to recommend the best 4-bit quantization configuration for your model, calibration data, and target GPU, then generate the loading and deployment steps you should follow.
