LLMOPS & AI INFRASTRUCTURE • 280 / 397
Operate AI like production: serving, GPUs, latency, capacity, routing and reliability.
Quantization
Quantization stores or computes model values at lower numeric precision to reduce memory and sometimes improve speed.
Think of it like
Think of Quantization like familiar infrastructure capacity and traffic engineering, except the scarce resources are often tokens, GPU memory and model latency.
Real life
High-scale AI services depend on Quantization to keep cost and latency under control.
SRE lens
A quantized model may fit on fewer GPUs at some quality trade-off.
