Might be a silly question but is GGML a similar/competing library to George Hotz's tinygrad [0]?

No, GGML is a CPU optimized library and quantized weight format that is closely linked to his other project llama.cpp

How does the quantization happen? Are the weights preprocessed before loading the model?

Yes, but to my knowledge it doesn't do any of the complicated optimization stuff that SOTA quantisation methods use. It basically is just doing a bunch of rounding.

There are advantages to simplicity, after all.
