Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/model-compression-quantization

These are techniques used in machine learning to reduce the size and computational cost of trained neural network models, making them faster and more efficient to deploy, especially on mobile or edge devices. Quantization reduces the numerical precision of model weights (e.g., from 32-bit floats to 8-bit integers), while other compression methods include pruning and knowledge distillation. Machine learning engineers use these techniques to deploy large models like LLMs or vision models on hardware with limited memory and compute.
