Large language models (LLMs) continue to expand in parameter scale, creating intense memory pressure on production GPU clusters. Quantization techniques such as AWQ, GPTQ, and GGUF offer mathematically rigorous precision reduction from FP16 down to INT4 while preserving cognitive fidelity and reasoning capabilities.
