Squeeze10-LLM is a staged mixed‑precision post‑training quantization framework that reduces 16‑bit LLM weights to an average of 1.6 bits per weight by assigning 80% of weights to 1 bit and 20% to 4 bits. It introduces Post‑Binarization Activation Robustness (PBAR), a weight significance metric that considers activation impact, and Full Information Activation Supervision (FIAS), a strategy that preserves activation information to limit error propagation. Experiments on LLaMA and LLaMA2 demonstrate that Squeeze10‑LLM achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance for sub‑2‑bit weight‑only quantization, raising average accuracy from 43% to 56% on six zero‑shot classification tasks.
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit exceptional general language processing capabilities, but their memory and compute costs hinder deployment. Ternarization has emerged as a promising compression technique, offering significant reductions in model size and inference complexity.

The paper introduces DASH-Q, a post‑training quantization method that uses a diagonal Hessian approximation and iterative weighted least squares to reduce noise in curvature estimates. By discarding noisy cross‑channel dependencies, DASH‑Q preserves salient feature power and achieves superior performance in ultra low‑bit quantization. Across five large language models, it improves zero‑shot accuracy by an average of 7.01% and up to 14.01% over the strongest baselines, even with very small calibration datasets.
