In local deployment, context length is limited by VRAM, and quantization techniques (such as 4-bit quantization) are usually needed to reduce VRAM usage, but this may sacrifice some precision.

Unverified2-bit quantization means each weight has only about 4 possible discrete values, making it extremely sensitive to precision and usually requiring techniques such as group quantization and scaling factors.76% similarVerified4-bit quantization introduces some accuracy loss, but in many practical tasks its performance is very close to that of the original model.76% similarUnverified4bit quantization is the compression of model weights from the 16-bit floating-point numbers commonly used during training into a 4-bit integer representation, usually retaining only a small number of scaling factors to reduce precision loss, and its direct benefit is that memory usage drops to about one quarter of the original.74% similarUnverifiedQuantization affects not only VRAM usage but also the computation path: some low-bit formats have dedicated acceleration on specific hardware, while others require dequantization before computation, so actual speed differences may exceed expectations.72% similarVerified4-bit quantization techniques (such as GPTQ, AWQ, and the GGUF format) can reduce model VRAM requirements to 1/4 of the original, but come with a certain degree of accuracy loss71% similar
