The paper introduces a composite metric for quantizing small language models that balances information retention and throughput gains, using a normalized SQNR-based coefficient and roofline-based latency analysis. Profiling Gemma 3 1B shows that Feed‑Forward Network blocks and the embedding matrix are prime candidates for acceleration, with the metric enabling tuning of speed‑quality trade‑offs without actual execution. The authors demonstrate that their estimates predict accelerated speedup within about 4% error and allocate resources more effectively than evolutionary search or Shapley‑value methods.

The paper argues that AI deployment performance depends on interactions among compression, compiler transformations, and serving policies rather than just model architecture. It introduces a three‑layer taxonomy—model‑level techniques, compiler transformations, and system policies—and frames deployment as a constrained multi‑objective optimization problem over accuracy, latency, throughput, memory footprint, and energy. The authors propose an evidence protocol for comparable benchmarking and synthesize data from edge and data‑center platforms to show that cross‑layer interactions drive deployment outcomes, concluding with a constraint‑aware selection procedure and open research problems.
