Statistically-Lossless Quantization of Large Language Models

arXiv:2605. 02404v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Model quantization has become essential for efficient large language model deployment, yet existing approaches present clear trade-offs: methods such as GPTQ and AWQ achieve practical compression but are lossy, while lossless techniques preserve fidelity but lack inference acceleration.

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.
