SPHQuant introduces a rotation‑free spherical weight‑only quantization framework for Vision‑Language Models, decomposing 8‑dimensional weight vectors into sign, radius, and a positive unit direction. By isolating outlier magnitudes in the radius and allocating extra precision there, it mitigates accuracy loss at extreme low bit‑widths. The method also employs a compact positive‑direction codebook with angular fine‑tuning and a hardware‑friendly GEMV kernel, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance while boosting decode throughput by 30.3% on RTX A6000 compared to QTIP.
