Half-Quadratic Quantization for LLMs without calibration data. Use when quantizing models to 4/3/2-bit precision without needing calibration datasets, for fast quantization workflows, or when deploying with vLLM or HuggingFace Transformers.

# HQQ - Half-Quadratic Quantization

Fast, calibration-free weight quantization supporting 8/4/3/2/1-bit precision with multiple optimized backends.

## When to use HQQ

**Use HQQ when:**
- Quantizing models without calibration data (no dataset needed)
- Need fast quantization (minutes vs hours for GPTQ/AWQ)
- Deploying with vLLM or HuggingFace Transformers
- Fine-tuning quantized models with LoRA/PEFT
- Experimenting with extreme quantization (2-bit, 1-bit)

**Key advantages:**
