# ⚡️ DFloat11: Lossless LLM Compression for Efficient GPU Inference
DFloat11 is a lossless compression framework that reduces the size of LLMs and Diffusion Models by approximately 30% while preserving bit-for-bit identical outputs to the original model. It enables efficient GPU inference on resource-constrained hardware without sacrificing accuracy.
## 🚀 Key Features
* **Lossless Compression**: Achieves \~30% model size reduction with outputs identical to the original BFloat16 models.
* **GPU-Efficient**: All decompression is handled on-GPU, eliminating CPU overhead and host-device data transfers.
* **Scalable Performance**: Decompression overhead remains constant per forward pass and is independent of batch size.
* **Broad Model Support**: Compatible with various models, including Qwen3, Gemma3, Llama3, Phi4, Wan2.1, FLUX.1, and BAGEL.
## 🛠 Installation
Ensure you have a CUDA-compatible GPU and PyTorch installed.
```bash
# For CUDA 12
pip install -U dfloat11[cuda12]
# For CUDA 11
pip install -U dfloat11[cuda11]
```
