Model Efficiency

Speculative decoding, quantization, and distillation through one bandwidth-and-quality lens.

Use this path when the right model is too slow, too large, or too expensive.3 sessions

What You’ll Be Able to Do

  1. 01Unify speculative decoding, quantization, and distillation by what they move less of
  2. 02Compute precision footprints and distinguish weight-only from activation quantization
  3. 03Pick evaluations that expose quality loss instead of hiding it

Lessons

  1. 01Quantization: Fewer Bytes per Weight
  2. 02Speculative Decoding: Draft, Then Verify
  3. 03Knowledge Distillation: Fewer Weights, Forever
