<h1 id="quantization">Quantization</h1>
<p>Quantization is significant to accelerate the model inference. Since there's little accuracy (performance) reduction when quantizing the model, get it easy to quantize it!</p>
<p>To quantize the model, please call <code>Quantize</code> from <code>LLamaQuantizer</code>, which is a static method.</p>
<pre><code class="language-cs">string srcPath = &quot;&lt;model.bin&gt;&quot;;
string dstPath = &quot;&lt;model_q4_0.bin&gt;&quot;;
LLamaQuantizer.Quantize(srcPath, dstPath, &quot;q4_0&quot;);
// The following overload is also okay.
// LLamaQuantizer.Quantize(srcPath, dstPath, LLamaFtype.LLAMA_FTYPE_MOSTLY_Q4_0);
</code></pre>
<p>After calling it, a quantized model file will be saved.</p>
<p>There're currently 5 types of quantization supported:</p>
<ul>
<li>q4_0</li>
<li>q4_1</li>
<li>q5_0</li>
<li>q5_1</li>
<li>q8_0</li>
</ul>
