How to pronounce GPTQ

GPTQ is most commonly pronounced "jee pee tee kyoo" (/ˌdʒiː piː tiː ˈkjuː/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.

Post-training weight quantization method for LLMs ("GPT" + "Q" for quantization). An initialism, spelled out letter-by-letter: jee-pee-tee-KYOO, primary stress on the final Q. The "GPT" prefix is read like GPT-4 (not "gee-putt"). Not pronounced as a single word.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will.
