FineSID introduces a new quantization framework for semantic identifier learning in generative recommendation systems. By replacing the traditional Top‑1 hard assignment with a soft, differentiable approach, it distributes gradient updates across all codewords, leading to balanced codebook optimization and reduced identifier collisions. Experiments on public benchmarks show that FineSID improves codebook utilization and recommendation accuracy without relying on complex initialization strategies.

The paper introduces D-Quant, a KV cache quantization framework that addresses the memory bottleneck of large language models by using a drift mechanism to convert entropy-coded representations into fixed-size bitstreams. This approach leverages the non-uniform distribution of KV cache values—after rotation and normalization, they approximate a normal distribution—allowing entropy coding to assign shorter codewords to frequent symbols while maintaining regular memory layouts suitable for parallel attention kernels. D-Quant thus aims to reduce memory footprint and bandwidth usage without sacrificing performance.
