ParetoQ: Improving Scaling Laws in Extremely Low-bit LLM Quantization
Zechun Liu, Changsheng Zhao, Hanxian Huang +13
The optimal bit-width for achieving the best trade-off between quantized model size and accuracy has been a subject of ongoing debate. While some advocate for 4-bit quantization, o…

PARQ: Piecewise-Affine Regularized Quantization
Lisa Jin, Jianhao Ma, Zechun Liu +3
We develop a principled method for quantization-aware training (QAT) of large-scale machine learning models. Specifically, we show that convex, piecewise-affine regularization (PAR…
