Deep Learning with C++

The remarkable capabilities of modern Transformer models come with a significant challenge: their enormous size. State-of-the-art language models can contain billions, even trillions of parameters, requiring substantial computational resources and memory. While this scale enables impressive performance on complex tasks, it creates practical barriers for real-world deployment—particularly on edge devices, mobile platforms, or in scenarios where latency and energy consumption matter.
Consider the constraints facing practitioners today: a smartphone with limited memory and battery life, an IoT device processing data locally, or a cloud service managing inference costs across millions of requests. In each case, the full-scale model becomes impractical. Model compression techniques address this gap, enabling us to deploy such large models in resource-constrained environments without sacrificing accuracy.
In this section, we will discuss three...
