FOCUS: FP4 Optimization via Coupled-Relaxation and Dual-Granularity Scaling
Xianglong Yan, Hong Liu, Chengzhu Bao +4
Large language models (LLMs) achieve remarkable performance but are expensive to deploy due to their enormous size. FP4 quantization, with formats such as MXFP4 and NVFP4, offers a…
SOAR: Scale Optimization for Accurate Reconstruction in NVFP4 Quantization
Chengzhu Bao, Xianglong Yan, Zhiteng Li +3
NVFP4 has recently emerged as an efficient 4-bit microscaling format for large language models (LLMs), offering superior numerical fidelity with native hardware support. However, e…
DQuant: Accurate Low-bit Post-Training Weight Quantization for LLMs
Xianglong Yan, ChengZhu Bao, Zhiteng Li +5
Large language models (LLMs) deliver strong performance, but their high compute and memory costs make deployment difficult in resource-constrained scenarios. Weight-only post-train…
PT-LLM: Post-Training Ternarization for Large Language Models
Xianglong Yan, Chengzhu Bao, Zhiteng Li +6
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive capabilities across diverse tasks, but their large memory and compute demands hinder deployment. Ternarization has gained attenti…
