contents PQuantML is a new open-source, hardware-aware neural network model compression library tailored to end-to-end workflows. Motivated by the need to deploy performant models to environments with strict latency constraints, PQuantML simplifies training of compressed models by providing a unified interface to apply pruning and quantization, either jointly or individually. The library implements multiple pruning methods with different granularities, as well as fixed-point quantization with support for High-Granularity Quantization. We evaluate PQuantML on representative tasks such as the jet substructure classification, so-called jet tagging, an on-edge problem related to real-time LHC data processing. Using various pruning methods with fixed-point quantization, PQuantML achieves substantial parameter and bit-width reductions while maintaining accuracy. The resulting compression is further compared against existing tools, such as QKeras and HGQ.
