Activation Outliers Matter: Robust Recovery for Quantized Multimodal LLMs
Tanzila Rahman, Mehran Taghian Jazi, Yunke Peng +10
Low-bit quantization offers a promising avenue for reducing the computational and memory demands of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Recent hardware support for low-precis…
HiFloat4 Format for End-To-End Reinforcement Learning Post-Training of Large Language Models
Hei Yi Mak, Shadan Golestan, Hoang Le +10
We present, to our knowledge, the first end-to-end FP4 RL post-training, in which both the rollout and training policies, including their forward and backward passes, operate at 4-…
Stable FP4 Training via Transposition-Invariant Block Quantization
Mehdi Rahimifar, Amin Darabi, Mehran Taghian Jazi +6
Reducing training precision is a key lever for improving the e ciency of large language model (LLM) training, but pushing beyond FP8 to 4-bit oating point (FP4) remains challenging…
GNMR: Runtime Stability Control for Low-Precision Large Language Model Training
Boao Kong, Weichen Jia, Engao Zhang +6
Training stability is a key bottleneck in low-precision language model training: efficient low-cost paths can still produce short-lived numerical risks at a small set of operators.…
HiFloat4 Format for Language Model Pre-training on Ascend NPUs
Mehran Taghian, Yunke Peng, Xing Huang +22
Large foundation models have become central to modern machine learning, with performance scaling predictably with model size and data. However, training and deploying such models i…
TrimR: Verifier-based Training-Free Thinking Compression for Efficient Test-Time Scaling
Weizhe Lin, Xing Li, Zhiyuan Yang +7
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) demonstrate exceptional capability in tackling complex mathematical, logical, and coding tasks by leveraging extended Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning…
