LASER: Loss-Aware Singular-value Decomposition and Rank Allocation for Efficient Low-Precision Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2606. 00573v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) deliver strong multimodal reasoning capabilities, but their large computational cost and high parameter counts make deployment challenging on resource-constrained devices.

KroQuant: Kronecker-Structured Block Transforms for Efficient Post-Training Quantization of Diffusion Transformers

arXiv:2607. 21446v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training quantization (PTQ) of diffusion transformers (DiTs) to W4A4 severely degrades output quality, because activations entering each linear layer contain outliers that 4-bit formats cannot represent.
