 An area of personal interest is finding ways to optimize the inference performance of LLMs when deployed in resource-constrained environments like commodity hardware, desktops, laptops, mobiles, edge devices, etc. There are many approaches to accomplish this, including architecture simplification and knowledge distillation, but my focus has been primarily on quantization and pruning.
 
-The method that I'm using to produce these experimental versions is explained in [Squeezing Tensor Bits: the quest for smaller LLMs](https://medium.com/@eaddario/squeezing-tensor-bits-the-quest-for-smaller-llms-86b23bd052ca), but at a high level it involves using a custom version of the `llama-quantize` tool to selectively quantize different tensors at different levels.
+The method used to produce these experimental versions is covered in [Squeezing Tensor Bits: the quest for smaller LLMs](https://medium.com/@eaddario/squeezing-tensor-bits-the-quest-for-smaller-llms-86b23bd052ca), but at a high level it involves using custom versions of `llama-imatrix` and `llama-quantize` to identify the influential tensors, and quantize the most important layers to higher bit precision and the less important to lower bits. This process was partly inspired by Dumitru's et al [Layer-Wise Quantization: A Pragmatic and Effective Method for Quantizing LLMs Beyond Integer Bit-Levels](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.17415).

This may or may not ever happen but until then, the modified version will be available on my [GitHub](https://github.com/EAddario/llama.cpp).

-In addition to [llama-quantize](https://github.com/EAddario/llama.cpp/tree/quantize), there’s a version of [llama-perplexity](https://github.com/EAddario/llama.cpp/tree/perplexity) that allows you to continue generating test scores even if there’s a context window overflow (original behaviour is to stop).

 *[BF16](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bfloat16_floating-point_format>) would be preferred, but Apple's GPUs don't support it yet, and therefore any operations are executed in the CPU, making it unacceptably slow. This is expected to change in the near term but until then, if you are using Apple kit avoid using any models tagged BF16
