About the project
Calibrated quantization toolkit for text, image, video and audio models down to 2–4 bit, supporting llama.cpp, vLLM, Diffusers and PyTorch. Enables fast compression of large models for local inference.
Useful for
- Quantize a text LLM to 4-bit GGUF and run it locally with llama.cpp
- Quantize a diffusion model and generate images or video
- Serve a quantized model over an HTTP API with vLLM

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 14, 2026, 10:41 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:03–10:33: 232 → 236 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +11 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 236 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Hacker News: “Huawei releases MACaQ, its internal quantizer for local inference” — 134 points, 2 days ago.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @mbrukman (402 followers).

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
