Use this plain-text version for the arXiv abstract field: Learned image compression (LIC) models achieve strong rate-distortion performance but are hindered by high computational complexity and encoding-decoding mismatches across heterogeneous hardware platforms. Uniform fixed-precision quantization alleviates these issues but suffers severe quality degradation at low bit widths because it ignores differences in the quantization sensitivities of individual layers.
