VQ-Transplant is a framework that allows new vector‑quantization (VQ) modules to be inserted into frozen, pre‑trained visual tokenizers without retraining the entire model. By preserving all encoder‑decoder parameters and adding a lightweight decoder adaptation trained for only five epochs on ImageNet‑1k, the method mitigates decoder‑quantization mismatch. Experiments show that VQ-Transplant achieves near state‑of‑the‑art reconstruction fidelity for industry‑level models such as VAR while cutting training costs by 95%.

Modern deep neural networks achieve strong performance, but their scale makes them costly and slow, especially on resource-constrained edge devices. Pruning and quantization address this, but rely on manual, expert choices and on algorithms that are hard to apply across architectures.
