PolyQ: Codesigning End-to-End Quantization Framework for Scalable Edge CPU LLM Inference

arXiv:2607. 14618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: CPUs are the most universal target for on-device LLM inference, but existing low-bit quantization methods offer either coarse operating points or fine-grained mixed precision that is difficult to execute efficiently on CPUs.
