gollark: It's quite strange that apparently BERT can be statically quantized without any extra training and retains decent accuracy but GPT-Neo emits nonsense going through the same process.
gollark: I was looking into quantization-aware training a while ago, but on the 125M model, and running that for a bit made it produce English-looking nonsense instead of random noise.
gollark: I think there's technically a way to swap bits of the model in and out of VRAM but it would still be quite slow.
gollark: You need a recent GPU with something like 16GB of VRAM.
gollark: There's probably documentation in the mesh-transformer-jax repo too.
