<h2>Quantization in TensorRT LLM<a class="headerlink" href="#quantization-in-tensorrt-llm" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>Quantization is a technique used to reduces memory footprint and computational cost by converting the models weights and/or activations from high-precision floating-point numbers (like BF16) to lower-precision data types, such as INT8, FP8, or FP4.</p>
<p>TensorRT LLM offers a variety of quantization recipes to optimize LLM inference. These recipes can be broadly categorized as follows:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>FP4</p></li>
<li><p>FP8 Per Tensor</p></li>
<li><p>FP8 Block Scaling</p></li>
<li><p>FP8 Rowwise</p></li>
<li><p>FP8 KV Cache</p></li>
