Google Research released TurboQuant, a training-free compression algorithm that can compress the KV cache of large language ...
Running a large language model is expensive, and a surprising amount of that cost comes down to memory, not computation.
Within 24 hours of the release, community members began porting the algorithm to popular local AI libraries like MLX for Apple Silicon and llama.cpp.
Even if you don’t know much about the inner workings of generative AI models, you probably know they need a lot of memory. Hence, it is currently almost impossible to buy a measly stick of RAM without ...
Compression algorithms for speech, audio, still images, and video are quite complicated and, more importantly, nearly always lossy. Thus, samples often change dramatically once they’re decompressed.
