arXiv:2606. 04238v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Aggressive weight quantization to 2-bit precision offers substantial throughput and memory gains for large language model (LLM) inference, but typically incurs severe accuracy degradation.

arXiv:2608. 13966v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language model inference shifts toward lower precision, post-training quantization (PTQ) becomes increasingly brittle, making quantization-aware training (QAT) essential for preserving model quality.

arXiv:2601. 21626v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Post Training Quantization (PTQ), a mainstream model compression technique, often leads to the paradoxical 'low error, high loss' phenomenon because it focuses solely on minimizing quantization error.

arXiv:2608. 11045v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: ReRound (Reconstructive Rounding) is a post-training quantization method that addresses the midpoint ambiguity inherent in standard round-to-nearest (RTN) schemes when quantizing weights near the centers of quantization intervals.
