Intel Neural Compressor
IntelIntel Neural Compressor is a Python library that applies model-compression techniques across PyTorch, TensorFlow and ONNX Runtime, covering static and dynamic quantization, SmoothQuant, weight-only quantization, quantization-aware training, mixed precision and pruning. Low-bit formats down to INT4 and the MX and NVFP4 families are supported, with automatic accuracy-driven tuning.
