CellFill method enables bit-identical, revocable LLM updates

Researchers have developed a novel method called CellFill for updating quantized Large Language Models (LLMs) without altering the original model's bit representation. This technique operates within the dequantization gap, storing new knowledge in a residual layer that is strictly contained within each quantization decision cell. This approach ensures that the updated model remains bit-identical to the original, allowing for revocable updates and bounded knowledge drift. Experiments show that CellFill achieves comparable fact recall to unconstrained methods while reducing cross-domain forgetting and demonstrating efficiency across different model sizes. AI

IMPACT This method could enable more efficient and verifiable updates for deployed LLMs, potentially reducing the risks associated with model drift and unauthorized modifications.

    Nothing Changed but the Model: CellFill -- Bounded In-Cell Learning for Bit-Identical, Revocable Updates to Quantized LLMs

    arXiv:2608.20873v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Every way of teaching a deployed language model something new -- full fine-tuning, adapter merging, model editing -- replaces the released checkpoint, and with it every evaluation and cache that referred to those exact bits. We inst…
