It turns out the rapid growth of AI has a massive downside: namely, spiraling power consumption, strained infrastructure and runaway environmental damage. It’s clear the status quo won’t cut it ...

DeepSeek-R1, released by a Chinese AI company, has the same performance as OpenAI's inference model o1, but its model data is open source. Unsloth, an AI development team run by two brothers, Daniel ...

Model quantization bridges the gap between the computational limitations of edge devices and the demands for highly accurate models and real-time intelligent applications. The convergence of ...

Compacting an AI model to run faster. AI quantization is primarily performed at the inference side (user side) so that it can run more quickly in phones and desktop computers. For example, whereas the ...

What if the future of artificial intelligence wasn’t about building bigger, more complex models, but instead about making them smaller, faster, and more accessible? The buzz around so-called “1-bit ...

Colour quantization, the process of reducing the number of distinct colours in an image while maintaining visual fidelity, is a cornerstone of digital image processing and computer graphics. Rooted in ...
