bitsandbytesgithub.combitsandbytes enables accessible large language models via k-bit quantization for PyTorch. It reduces memory usage for inference and training with 8-bit optimizers using block-wise quantization, 8-bit LLM.int8 quantization for inference with about half the memory and no performance degradation, and 4-bit QLoRA quantization for memory-saving training. The library provides quantization primitives such as bitsandbytes.nn.Linear8bitLt, bitsandbytes.nn.Linear4bit, and 8-bit optimizers in bitsandbytes.optim.
