Unleashing Low-Bit Inference on Ascend NPUs: A Comprehensive Evaluation of HiFloat Formats
Pengxiang Zhao, Hui-Ling Zhen, Xing Li +10
As LLMs scale, low-bit floating-point formats like MXFP and NVFP4 offer new opportunities for precision and efficiency. In this work, we evaluate HiFloat (HiF8 and HiF4), a family…

FlatQuant: Flatness Matters for LLM Quantization
Yuxuan Sun, Ruikang Liu, Haoli Bai +10
Recently, quantization has been widely used for the compression and acceleration of large language models (LLMs). Due to the outliers in LLMs, it is crucial to flatten weights and…
