Large Language Model Formats and Quantization
Explore the world of large language models (LLMs), delving into the file formats, architectures, and techniques that make them so powerful. You’ll learn about common formats like Safetensors, .pth, and .tf, along with innovative quantization methods that improve model efficiency. The focus is on understanding the core concepts of Transformer architectures, GGML/GGUF formats, and how techniques like knowledge distillation and pruning optimize LLM performance.
