About Us

OptiML is an open-source project dedicated to integrating powerful model compression into fine-tuning workflows, enabling AI developers and researchers to optimize and deploy large models with efficiency and scale. As AI models grow in size, balancing performance with deployment costs has become a critical challenge. While model compression is an active area of research, fragmented knowledge often makes it hard to adopt the best techniques. OptiML bridges this gap by offering a unified platform that curates, evaluates, and implements cutting-edge compression strategies for both one-shot optimization and fine-tuning.

Inspired by the potential of sparse networks and foundational work like Optimal Brain Damage (OBD), OptiML simplifies fine-tuning and compression for developers. Our mission is to democratize access to state-of-the-art compression techniques, enabling users to create efficient, scalable models without sacrificing accuracy.

OptiML fosters a community-driven approach to stay ahead in this evolving field, encouraging collaboration and contributions from researchers and developers alike. With seamless integration into PyTorch workflows, OptiML provides the tools and confidence needed to experiment, innovate, and deploy optimized models for any application.
