arXiv:2607. 20538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context Transformer inference increasingly relies on KV-cache compression or quantization.
By Yitao Jiang, Yaoqing Yang, Luyang Zhao, Muhao Chen, Devin Balkcom
arXiv:2608. 15602v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While binary quantization theoretically promises extreme compression and acceleration for Large Language Models (LLMs), existing research often overlooks the necessity of specialized hardware kernels, thus failing to unleash the full acceleration potential due to persistent reliance on expensive floating-point arithmetic or runtime dequantization overheads.
