# AutoAWQ
:::{warning}
Please note that AWQ support in vLLM is under-optimized at the moment. We would recommend using the unquantized version of the model for better
accuracy and higher throughput. Currently, you can use AWQ as a way to reduce memory footprint. As of now, it is more suitable for low latency
inference with small number of concurrent requests. vLLM's AWQ implementation have lower throughput than unquantized version.
:::
To create a new 4-bit quantized model, you can leverage [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ).
Quantizing reduces the model's precision from FP16 to INT4 which effectively reduces the file size by ~70%.
The main benefits are lower latency and memory usage.
