Models Can Be Converted to int8-convrot
Justify_87 · reddit · 2026-07-09
The post mentions an official Python script that converts models to the int8-convrot format. The command is straightforward: pass in a bf16 or fp8 model file, and it outputs the corresponding int8-convrot file. This information is primarily aimed at local deployment and model compression optimization, focusing on lowering the barrier to entry for model usage rather than improving the model's inherent capabilities.
