Measure memory, latency, and correctness together
An original deployment comparison should use the same tasks at different precisions. Record memory, latency, and correctness together. The most compressed model is not necessarily the best choice if it introduces costly failures.
Runtime memory extends beyond model weights
A lower-bit checkpoint still needs runtime memory for context and intermediate operations. Check the supported format on your hardware rather than assuming any quantized file can run in any application.
What to remember
Budget memory beyond the weights.
