- Volta refers to SM 7.0, Turing to SM 7.5, Ampere to SM 8.0/8.6, Ada to SM 8.9, and Hopper to SM 9.0.
- ✅︎ indicates that the quantization method is supported on the specified hardware.
- ❌ indicates that the quantization method is not supported on the specified hardware.
!!! note
For information on quantization support on Google TPU, please refer to the [TPU-Inference Recommended Models and Features](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/tpu/en/latest/recommended_models_features/) documentation.
!!! note
This compatibility chart is subject to change as vLLM continues to evolve and expand its support for different hardware platforms and quantization methods.
