Official [AQLM](https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.06118) quantization of `meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf`.

For this quantization, we used 2 codebooks of 8 bits.

Selected evaluation results for this and other models:

**UPD** (20.02.2024).
We applied global finetuning on top of quantized model and improved results compared to first revision.

To learn more about the inference, as well as the information on how to quantize models yourself, please refer to the [official GitHub repo](https://github.com/Vahe1994/AQLM).
