Researchers have investigated the impact of quantization techniques on the inference efficiency and translation quality of machine translation models. Their study focused on two model families, EuroLLM and Hy-MT2, across various sizes, evaluating them on A100 and H100 GPUs. The findings indicate that combining document-chunking strategies with W4A8 or W8A8 quantization can significantly improve latency-throughput trade-offs. However, the effectiveness and quality preservation vary between model families, with EuroLLM showing a notable degradation in translation quality under quantization, unlike Hy-MT2. AI
