Quantization
?
What is quantization?
Think of it like image quality. Higher = sharper but bigger file. Lower = smaller file, slight quality drop. It controls how precisely the AI model's "knowledge" is stored — and directly determines how much RAM it needs.
FP16Full quality — needs the most RAM. Best results.
Q8Near-perfect quality, half the size of FP16.
Q4Sweet spot — great quality, runs on most laptops.
Q3Smaller, but noticeably less accurate.
Q2Tiny file, significant quality loss. Not recommended.
Q4_K_M: ~4.8 bits/weight — Ollama default, best quality-size balance.
