The paper introduces FAMPWQ, a Fisher information-based Adaptive Mixed Precision Weight Quantization method designed to improve Large Language Model inference on commodity GPUs. It uses a Fisher information metric to assess layer-wise sensitivity and a reinforcement learning-based bit-width allocator to adaptively assign precision per layer. Experiments across seven models and five benchmarks show significant gains in perplexity, accuracy, and LLM-as-a-judge performance compared to seven baseline approaches.

The paper introduces RAMP, a method for robust adaptive mixed‑precision quantization of vision models on edge CPUs. It evaluates 13 sensitivity metrics across four neural networks, finding that Jensen‑Shannon Divergence consistently identifies layers that can be safely quantized. Using K‑Means clustering on these metrics, RAMP achieves near‑lossless accuracy with an average 1.81× speed‑up, while cautioning against excluding low‑speed‑up layers that can fragment the computational graph.

GAMMA is a post‑training framework that learns module‑wise precision preferences for mixed‑precision quantization of large language models. It optimizes a teacher‑forced hidden‑state reconstruction objective under an augmented Lagrangian constraint and then projects the learned preferences into exact budget‑feasible discrete assignments via integer programming. Because the learned preferences encode a stable sensitivity ranking, a single training run can be reused for any deployment budget, reducing per‑budget adaptation from hours to minutes and outperforming fixed‑precision baselines and search‑based methods on Llama and Qwen models.
