PRQuant: Permutation Residual Quantization for Low-Overhead Inference
Peiran Wang, Anqi Wang, Jiaying Zhao +10
Low-bit quantization of linear layers is often dominated by a small number of outlier channels. Existing smoothing, rotation, and residual-based methods can mitigate this issue, bu…
MXAttention: Data-Free Optimal Scaling and Pre-Normalization Quantization for MXFP4 Attention
Jianlin Yu, Jing Lin, Linghui Kong +13
The quadratic cost of attention is a major bottleneck in diffusion-based video generation models. MXFP4 attention provides a promising path toward efficient inference, but direct M…
BiSCo-LLM: Lookup-Free Binary Spherical Coding for Extreme Low-Bit Large Language Model Compression
Yuantian Shao, Peisong Wang, Zhilei Liu +6
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly constrained by memory capacity, weight bandwidth, and checkpoint storage during deployment. Existing low-bit compression methods mainl…
StreamKL: Fast and Memory-Efficient KL Divergence for Boosting Attention Distillation
Guangda Liu, Yiquan Wang, Chengwei Li +6
Attention distillation, which trains one attention distribution to match another by minimizing their Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, is widely used in knowledge distillation, mod…
