A well-known project done right. Strong docs and solid engineering throughout.

A unified library of SOTA model optimization techniques like quantization, distillation, pruning, neural architecture search, speculative decoding, etc. It compresses deep learning models for downstream deployment frameworks like TensorRT-LLM, TensorRT, vLLM, etc. to optimize inference speed.

Outstanding. A score of 96/100 puts this repo in a very small tier of truly well-engineered projects.
