Key Highlights:

 1. Performance Boost: The transition to FP8 offers a significant performance boost, delivering up to 1.6x the speed of FP16 on large language models like Llama 3 70B. This enhancement can greatly reduce latency and improve the efficiency of model inference.
    
 2. Innovative Quantization: MK1's approach to FP8 quantization leads to higher model fidelity compared to previous methods, leading to outputs that are closer to the original.

We invite you to explore the capabilities of this system and consider how it could be integrated into your workflows to achieve new levels of language model performance and utility for your use case on the TensorWave Cloud.
