A new AI research initiative could drastically reduce GPU memory usage by two to three times, potentially even up to six times, for tasks like text generation, image generation, and image classification. This breakthrough also addresses a significant communication bottleneck in distributed training. However, its full potential hinges on successfully scaling up to models with billions of parameters, as current confirmations are limited to a few hundred million. The core of the problem lies in the VRAM memory bottlenecks of Large Language Models (LLMs), which fall into three main categories: context window memory, inferencing memory, and training memory. The context window strain is due to the growing KV cache with increased user context, an issue many, including Google's Turbo Con and Deep CV4, are trying to resolve as long-context reasoning becomes prevalent. For inferencing, the entire model weights must reside in GPU memory. A 10 billion parameter model, for instance, requires about 20 GB at FP16. This can be reduced through quantization, storing parts of the weights at lower precision (e.g., int8 or int4), which can cut VRAM needs to 10 GB or 5 GB, respectively, albeit with some performance loss. This method is already used in production by Deep CV4 to save inference costs.
