INT8 Precision

An 8-bit integer data format used to reduce model VRAM footprints and accelerate compute stages.

INT8 Precision compresses model parameters from 16-bit floating points to 8-bit integers. This halves memory storage requirements and speeds up inference on compatible hardware accelerator cards.
