HyQuant: Hybrid-Precision Quantization for LLM Attention

HyQuant introduces a hybrid-precision quantization framework for large language model (LLM) attention modules. It quantizes most attention states to low-bit formats while preserving a small set of vertical‑line tokens and local‑window states in full precision, guided by lightweight attention‑pattern signals. This design achieves near‑lossless accuracy across tasks while improving memory and hardware efficiency.
