The paper reports a large‑scale post‑training ternarisation of the Qwen3 language model, extending a conversion pipeline from the 4B to the 8B variant. Using KOTMS rotation, E2M‑ATQ adaptive ternarisation, and GPTQ‑style error compensation, the authors achieve a 1.361× perplexity ratio across three corpora and retain 78.5% of the FP16 accuracy on zero‑shot tasks, with the 8B model outperforming the 4B by 8.9 percentage points. The study also demonstrates lossless lattice‑aware packing, producing an 8.24 GiB checkpoint that preserves perplexity, and shows that direct packed execution can reach 15.52 tokens/s in 7.35 GiB, though packed GEMV remains slower than FP16 cuBLAS.
