Definition
n. A way to make an AI model smaller and faster by using less-precise numbers inside it.
n. A technique that reduces the numerical precision of a model's values to lower memory and computational requirements.

Real-World Examples
“And it offers different “quantizations” (basically, trading a little precision for a smaller size) that help it span Macs with different amounts of RAM.” “One of the most widely used techniques to make AI models more efficient, quantization, has limits — and the industry could be fast approaching them.” “To get around this, you can either split that model up across multiple chips - or even servers - or you can compress the model weights to a lower precision in a process called quantization.” Etymology
From quantize + -ation.
