Quantization is often sold as "smaller = cheaper = better." But the three things people conflate—VRAM savings, inference speed, and model accuracy—do not move together. In this video, we go under the hood of GGUF, AWQ, and GPTQ to find the true quantization sweet spot. We unpack why the 4-bit tier (like GGUF Q4_K_M) successfully balances size, speed, and intelligence, while pointing out the silent trade-offs of 8-bit (zero speedup) and 2-bit formats (the edge of model collapse). Whether you are hosting open-source LLMs on a local GPU or trying to optimize server inference at scale, we break down the mathematical mechanics—from GPTQ's Hessian matrix approach to AWQ's activation-aware scaling tricks. 📌 Timestamps: 0:00 - Why Quantize?
