<h1 style="line-height: 50px;"> Spectra Suite </h1>

We release the Spectra Suite consisting of 54 models ranging from 99M to 3.9B parameters across different bitwidths:

* FloatLM: LLMs pretrained in FP16 (Half-Precision).  
* TriLM: LLMs pretrained with effective ternary bitwidth.  
* QuantLM 8-bit: FloatLM LLMs Quantized to 8-bits.  
* QuantLM 6-bit: FloatLM LLMs Quantized to 6-bits.  
* QuantLM 4-bit: FloatLM LLMs Quantized to 4-bits.  
* QuantLM 3-bit: FloatLM LLMs Quantized to 3-bits.  

All models are released in unpacked (FP16 format) - compatible with FP16 GEMMs across any library supporting the LLaMa architecture.
