Quantization (improving memory usage)
Usually the model + context needs to fit into RAM/VRAM memory. Each model parameter can be represented with certain precision. For example, FP16 uses 16 bits (2 bytes) of memory to store a single parameter, while Q4_0 uses only 4 bits. This means that FP16 model will use ~4x of the memory compared to Q4_0.
-Of course using Q4_0 will introduce some rounding error in quantization step, but it's usually not a big deal. Look at the graph below to see how different quantization parameters affect model accuracy and memory usage of llama 3.1 8B.

Initial Open WebUI Configuration
++Go to the local IP or onion address of the Open WebUI and create admin account once you're asked to. You don't need to put any real data but save it somewhere so that you can login later. +
+
+
+
+After that, you should be greeted with Open WebUI main interface and changelog popup. You can close it.
+
+
+
+Then, we'll go into the settings page and change theme to dark mode.

+ Downloading Model
+
+To see available models, head to ollama library. Sadly they block Tor traffic so if you have to use Tor, use their chinese mirror.
+Next, pick a model you want to download. In our case, we want Gemma 3. Then click on Tags to see all available variants.
