2-bit quantization squeezes 35B MoE model onto single 24GB GPU at 225 tok/s.

Strengths
  • Mixed 2/3-bit per projection quantization preserves quality while halving VRAM needs.
  • ZML engine offers single-binary deployment with no Python or CUDA toolkit required.
  • OpenAI-compatible API means drop-in replacement for existing LLM applications.
Weaknesses
  • Concurrency trade-offs on 16GB cards may limit multi-user or batch scenarios.
  • Linux-only support excludes Windows and macOS users from this optimization.
