FED-FSTQ: Fisher-Guided Token Quantization for Communication-Efficient Federated Fine-Tuning of LLMs on Edge Devices

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2604. 25421v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Federated fine-tuning provides a practical route to adapt large language models (LLMs) on edge devices without centralizing private data, yet in mobile deployments the training wall-clock is often bottlenecked by straggler-limited uplink communication under heterogeneous bandwidth and intermittent participation.

CAT-Q: Cost-efficient and Accurate Ternary Quantization for LLMs

In this paper, we present CAT-Q, Cost-efficient and Accurate Ternary Quantization, for compressing and accelerating LLMs. Unlike existing state-of-the-art ternary quantization methods that rely on data-intensive and costly quantization-aware training to mitigate severe performance degradation, CAT-Q is a simple yet effective post-training quantization scheme that is readily applicable to LLMs with diverse architectures and model sizes.

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.
