Model performance

33% faster LLM inference with FP8 quantization

Quantizing Mistral 7B to FP8 resulted in near-zero perplexity gains and yielded material performance improvements across latency, throughput, and cost.

Model performance

High performance ML inference with NVIDIA TensorRT

Use TensorRT to achieve 40% lower latency for SDXL and sub-200ms time to first token for Mixtral 8x7B on A100 and H100 GPUs.
