Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding/decoding. Processing circuitry decodes prediction information of a block from a coded video bitstream. The prediction information is indicative of a matrix based intra prediction for the block. The processing circuitry determines entries of a vector based on neighboring samples of the block. An entry can be determined based on one or more neighboring samples of the block. The processing circuitry converts the entries into a reduced bit form with a number of bits satisfying a requirement of using a first multiplication tool that processes fewer bits than a second multiplication tool. Then, the processing circuitry multiplies, using the first multiplication tool, the entries of the vector in the reduced bit form with entries of a matrix to calculate a subset of prediction samples of the block, and determines other prediction samples of the block based on the subset.
