It can improve cost and capacity, but may change quality, latency characteristics or hardware behavior.

Quantization Trade-offs
Quantization reduces model memory and compute requirements by representing weights at lower precision.
A 4-bit deployment doubles density but causes an unacceptable quality regression on a specialized support workload.
Do release gates evaluate reliability, performance and quality together after quantization changes?
REMEMBERA cheaper model is not cheaper if quality failures create operational load.
