Quantization techniques reduce memory and computational costs by representing weights and activations with lower-precision data types like 8-bit integers (int8). This enables loading larger models you normally wouldn't be able to fit into memory, and speeding up inference. Diffusers supports 8-bit and 4-bit quantization with [bitsandbytes](https://huggingface.co/docs/bitsandbytes/en/index).  
Quantization techniques that aren't supported in Transformers can be added with the [`DiffusersQuantizer`] class.
