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.
