NVIDIA has introduced a new 4-bit pretraining method called NVFP4, designed to significantly reduce the costs and energy consumption associated with training large AI models. This technique, validated on a 12 billion parameter model using 10 trillion tokens, aims to maintain accuracy comparable to higher-precision methods. The company anticipates this development will lead to a 75% cost reduction for AI model training by 2026. AI
