While the 4‑bit model experiences a 30–45% increase in inference time due to dequantization overhead, the output remains coherent and accurate. This approach makes deploying large models on resource-constrained hardware much more feasible.

We converted a full-precision (FP16) Llama 3 8B model into a 4‑bit version using Hugging Face’s bitsandbytes library with the “nf4” configuration. This reduced the model’s memory usage from ~15 GB to ~5.4 GB—a savings of roughly 64%.

I'm 100% confident this will be OSS and in our hands running locally in a short while. I do not believe there is long term benefit for the giants. Secondly, this is still fair use and afaik this is all public domain stuff. In every universe our math this was inevitable 🙁

Lots of great new stuff in the Gemini app as of late (Canvas, new models, deep research, personalization, etc), but yes there are rate limits for free users.
