“We think probably the main thing will be similar to where NVIDIA is at, which is 4-bit precision. But I think a mix of different precisions is useful for just when you look at the research, sometimes you want some layers in higher precision or lower precision, and so on.”

Transcript context
…Sorry, literally what precision are you dealing with in this sense? We have a range. We actually have an ML team who we hired specifically to research different forms of numerics and how to make them all work together really well. We have a range of precisions. It's not just one precision. We think probably the main thing will be similar to where NVIDIA is at, which is 4-bit precision. But I think a mix of different precisions is useful for just when you look at the research, sometimes you want some layers in higher precision or lower precision, and so on. 4-bit is 16.…
