UnverifiedInference optimization is the core technical direction for reducing AI's per-use cost, with common methods including model quantization (representing weights at lower precision such as INT8/FP8 to reduce memory footprint and computation), knowledge distillation (using a large model to guide a small model), KV cache reuse and batching (merging requests to improve GPU utilization), and speculative decoding (a small model drafts and a large model verifies to speed up generation).77% similarUnverifiedTraditional INT8 quantization can perform inference directly using hardware-native integer arithmetic units, whereas factor decomposition schemes require first reconstructing approximate weights from indices before executing multiplication.76% similarUnverifiedThe model backbone is typically quantized to INT8, INT4 or other low-bit formats to save memory and speed up inference.73% similarUnverifiedModel quantization (compressing floating-point weights to INT8/INT4) and knowledge distillation are the two most commonly used technical approaches for achieving a balance between speed and accuracy.68% similarUnverifiedUnder INT8 / FP8 computation paths, diffusion model inference speed increased by 1.2 to 1.7 times.67% similar
