Can Massive LLMs Be Compressed for Consumer GPUs?
tt23 · reddit · 2026-07-20
The author asks: given that new Chinese open-weight models are exceeding 2T parameters, can research institutions use GPU clusters to easily compress them down for consumer GPUs?
They want to know if this type of compression and downscaling is exclusively feasible for the original developers, or if independent research institutions can realistically achieve it as well.
