4-bit quantization enables large AI models on single 3090 GPU

A user on Mastodon shared their positive experience using 4-bit quantization for AI models, noting that a single 3090 GPU could fully accommodate a model with a 128k context window and the DFlash2 model. They reported impressive generation speeds, consistently above 38 tokens per second even with large contexts, and peaking at 65 tokens per second on smaller contexts. This led them to consider upgrading the GPU to 48GB of memory for even better performance. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates efficient deployment of large context models on consumer-grade hardware, potentially lowering barriers to entry for AI experimentation.

    Damn, why didn't I switch to 4-bit quantization earlier 🤦‍♂️ One 3090, the model completely fit into memory with a context of 128 + DFlash2 model at 4 bits. Generation speed

    Блин, и чего я раньше на 4бит квант не перешел 🤦‍♂️ Одна 3090, модель полностью влезла в память с контекстом 128 + DFlash2 моделью на 4 бита. Скорость генерации на контексте 100к+ ниже 38 не падает. На мелких контекстах вообще за 50+, в пике 65 видел. Может отдать её чтобы 48 гиг…
