Lossless JIT weight decompression on GPU: 4.19x faster inference on a 6GB laptop RTX 4050, zero precision loss

Most "make LLMs faster" tricks quantize the weights: round bf16 down to int4/int8, lose some precision, read fewer bytes, go faster. That's not what this is. I built a GPU inference engine where the weights stay bit-exact bf16 — identical to the original safetensors — but are stored on disk/VRAM in…
