See plansThe primary trade-off involves balancing resource efficiency against model precision. Using INT4 quantization significantly reduces the memory footprint, which allows for larger batch sizes or smaller hardware requirements.
In memory-bound scenarios, this reduction in memory bandwidth requirements directly translates to lower latency. However, you must account for potential accuracy degradation, as large models can be sensitive to outlier activations that are not captured as accurately in lower-precision formats.
