As suggested in #146 we are able to save lots of memory by using float16 instead of float32. I implemented the suggested changes, and tested with the 7B and 13B models, and there were no issues on my Intel-based MacBook Pro.
Merging these changes should allow more models to run more performantly on a wider range of hardware.
