概要

Quantization converts floating-point model weights to lower precision (int8, int4) without major accuracy loss. Compressed models run 4-10x faster and use 4-8x less memory. Critical for edge deployment (phones, embedded devices). Senior ML engineers optimizing models earn 20-30% premium. Mastery takes 6-8 weeks.

Model Quantization Compressionとは

Quantization is a technique to reduce machine learning model size and inference latency by using lower-precision number formats. A typical model uses 32-bit floats (float32). Quantization converts weights and activations to 8-bit integers (int8) or 4-bit integers (int4), reducing model size by 4-8x with minimal accuracy loss. Compressed models run on resource-constrained devices: mobile phones, edge servers, embedded systems. A 1GB model becomes 125MB, enabling on-device inference without cloud calls.

❓ よくある質問

▶What's the difference between quantization and pruning?
Quantization reduces precision (float32 → int8). Pruning removes unused weights (reduce model size). Both reduce model size and latency. Often combined: quantize + prune for maximum compression.
▶Does quantization hurt model accuracy?
Minor accuracy drop (1-5% typically). Well-designed quantization is imperceptible to users. Some models actually improve due to regularization effect. Post-training quantization easiest; fine-tuning quantization (retraining with quantized weights) more accurate.
▶How much does quantization speed up inference?
4-10x speedup typical on CPU, 2-4x on GPU. Depends on hardware support for int8 operations. Mobile/edge see biggest gains. Latency matters more than throughput.
▶What's the difference between int8 and int4?
int8 = 256 values per weight. int4 = 16 values. int4 compresses more but hurts accuracy more. int8 is sweet spot for most models. int4 for extreme compression (mobile, embedded).
▶Can I quantize a pre-trained model without retraining?
Yes, post-training quantization (PTQ). Fast, no retraining needed. Accuracy drop 2-5%. For critical models, fine-tune with quantized weights (quantization-aware training, QAT) for better results.
▶What tools should I use?
PyTorch: torch.quantization. TensorFlow: TensorFlow Lite Converter or tf-quant. NVIDIA: TensorRT for GPU. ONNX Runtime for cross-platform. TVM for edge optimization.
