arXiv:2608. 05253v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantized orthogonal fine-tuning (qoft) enables parameter-efficient adaptation of low-bit language models by learning structured activation rotations before frozen quantized weights.
arXiv:2602. 03120v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) is essential for deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) on memory-constrained devices, yet it renders models static and difficult to fine-tune.
arXiv:2606. 09927v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-training quantization (PTQ) is one of the most practical ways to reduce the serving cost of Large Language Models (LLMs), but activation quantization remains difficult because outlier-dominated channels lead to large quantization errors.
arXiv:2607. 04302v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present HiFA4, a post-training operator-level design that executes both QK^T and PV in FlashAttention as 4-bit HIF4 Cube GEMMs for LLM inference on Ascend NPUs, while maintaining the online softmax state in FP16.
arXiv:2606. 10531v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantization-aware training (QAT) is essential for extremely low-bit large language models (LLMs).
arXiv:2607. 10137v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training quantization (PTQ) of large language models degrades sharply below 4-bit precision.
arXiv:2602. 05367v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Efficient deployment of large language models (LLMs) requires extreme quantization, forcing a critical trade-off between low-bit efficiency and performance.
arXiv:2608. 07019v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training quantization (PTQ) is widely used to reduce the memory and computational cost of large language models.
arXiv:2608. 14149v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent training-free post-training quantization methods restore model accuracy through closed-form residual compensation.
arXiv:2605. 28803v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models unify perception, reasoning, and control within a single policy, yet their multi-billion-parameter backbones and diffusion-based action heads make on-device deployment prohibitively expensive.
arXiv:2605. 08692v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Post-training weight-only quantization to 4 bits is widely used to reduce the memory and compute costs of large language model inference.
arXiv:2608. 02703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Weight-only quantization substantially reduces the storage of large language model (LLM) transformer blocks, but practical backends often retain the final language-modeling head (LM-head) in BF16 or FP16.
arXiv:2607. 23047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixed-precision quantization improves the accuracy of post-training quantization by allocating higher bitwidths to sensitive layers, but existing methods solve the allocation for a single fixed memory budget.
