An official quantization of meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B using PV-Tuning on top of AQLM .
For this quantization, we used 1 codebook of 16 bits for groups of 8 weights.
Note that a large portion of this model are the 16-bit embeddings/logits matrices. You can significantly reduce the model footprint by quantizing these matrices, e.g. using bitsandbytes LLM.int8 or NF4 formats. This does not require additional training
