Predict Before You Deploy: Offline Prediction of Quantization-Induced Task Degradation for World Action Models

The paper introduces PreDE, a policy‑calibrated framework that predicts how post‑training quantization will degrade task performance in world action models (WAMs) before deployment. By calibrating two thresholds on a small development set, PreDE can accept, reject, or defer new quantization configurations based on offline action deviations, achieving 75% coverage of decisions that match closed‑loop outcomes. Experiments on five WAMs and real‑robot trials show that PreDE accurately identifies high‑deviation configurations and enables significant speedups and memory reductions without compromising performance.
