When children learn how to hit a baseball, they don’t start with fastballs. Their coaches begin with the basics: how to grip the handle of the bat, where to put their feet and how to keep their eyes on the ball. Similarly, an autonomous AI system needs a subject matter expert (SME) to break a complex process or problem into easier tasks that give the AI important clues about how to find a solution faster.

Quantization Fundamentals (Coursera)

Generative AI models, like large language models, often exceed the capabilities of consumer-grade hardware and are expensive to run. Compressing models through methods such as quantization makes them more efficient, faster, and accessible. This allows them to run on a wide variety of devices, including smartphones, personal computers, and edge devices, and minimizes performance degradation.
