You are broadly better off running a larger, more quantized model, than a smaller model at a higher precision. A 65b parameter model with 2bit quantization still outperforms an fp16 30b parameter model in perplexity and qualitative testing. No one I know does fp32, there's no benefit.
People train LoRAs at low precision regularly. The folks on /r/localllama are really pushing the boundaries of what can be done on consumer hardware, and the boundaries are further out than you'd think.
Also, if you want to really blow-up your intuition, check out model merges...
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoThat's really interesting to know. Kind of mind-blowing, tbh. Does all that apply to training as well, or just inference?
- eightysixfour 3y agoYes, and there are techniques that get it closer than naive approaches, like quantization aware training.
