The premise
TensorRT-LLM quantizers reach near-FP16 quality with INT4-AWQ or FP8 if calibration data matches deployment.
What AI does well here
- Pick AWQ vs SmoothQuant vs FP8
- Curate calibration sets
- Run side-by-side eval
What AI cannot do
- Salvage a poorly trained model
- Replace evaluation
- Avoid hardware lock-in
