QUASAR: Lowering the Loss Floor of Quantization-Aware Training with Loss-Aware Reconstruction

arXiv:2608. 13966v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language model inference shifts toward lower precision, post-training quantization (PTQ) becomes increasingly brittle, making quantization-aware training (QAT) essential for preserving model quality.

Statistically-Lossless Quantization of Large Language Models

arXiv:2605. 02404v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Model quantization has become essential for efficient large language model deployment, yet existing approaches present clear trade-offs: methods such as GPTQ and AWQ achieve practical compression but are lossy, while lossless techniques preserve fidelity but lack inference acceleration.
