arXiv:2601. 21626v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Post Training Quantization (PTQ), a mainstream model compression technique, often leads to the paradoxical 'low error, high loss' phenomenon because it focuses solely on minimizing quantization error.
arXiv:2601. 22813v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The NVFP4 lower-precision format, supported in hardware by NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, promises to allow, for the first time, end-to-end fully-quantized pre-training of massive models such as LLMs.
arXiv:2608. 13966v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language model inference shifts toward lower precision, post-training quantization (PTQ) becomes increasingly brittle, making quantization-aware training (QAT) essential for preserving model quality.
arXiv:2505. 22988v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The goal of quantization is to produce a compressed model whose output distribution is as close to the original model's as possible.
arXiv:2606. 09012v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-training quantization (PTQ) converts a trained full-precision model into low-bit weights without task-level retraining, while quantization-aware training (QAT) incorporates quantization into the training loop.
arXiv:2607. 07964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training quantization (PTQ) is a widely adopted technique for compressing large language models (LLMs) without retraining.
