Quantization Degradation in Large Language Models: A Signal-Noise Perspective

Chenxi Zhou, Pengfei Cao, Jinyu Ye +5

Post-training quantization reduces the deployment cost of large language models, yet how severely a quantized model degrades is not determined by bit-width alone. We systematically…

SFT Conflicts, RL Coexists: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Multi-Task Learning for LLMs

Kejian Zhu, Zhuoran Jin, Shangqing Tu +5

Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) exhibit fundamentally different behaviors in enhancing multi-task reasoning for large language models (LLMs). Our preli…

From Signal Degradation to Computation Collapse: Uncovering the Two Failure Modes of LLM Quantization

Chenxi Zhou, Pengfei Cao, Jiang Li +4

Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) is critical for the efficient deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs). While 4-bit quantization is widely regarded as an optimal trade-off, redu…
