Quantization in this context is the precision of each value in the vector or matrix/tensor. If the model in question has a token embedding length of 1024, even if it was a 1 bit quantization, each token has 2^1024 possible values. If t

Mike Acton's talk "Data-Oriented Design and C++" from CppCon 2014 is the best programming talk ever given in my opinion. A must watch: https://youtu.be/rX0ItVEVjHc
