In-Cell Learning: Language Models That Update Their Own Weights in Sequence Without Changing the File They Ship

arXiv:2608.20873v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A 4-bit quantized weight specifies a rounding cell rather than a single full-precision value. We introduce in-cell learning, a paradigm for writing...

Compress and Forget: bitsandbytes Quantization Amplifies Proactive Interference in LLMs

The study investigates how post‑training quantization (PTQ) affects proactive interference (PI) in large language models. Using bitsandbytes, the authors compare FP16, INT8, and INT4/NF4 precision across three instruction‑tuned models and find that INT4 quantization markedly degrades accuracy under high interference, with INT8 also incurring a smaller penalty in two of the three models. The degradation is linked to increased same‑key intrusion errors and originates in the quantized transformer backbone rather than the output layer.
