New MPQ technique improves LLM quantization by preserving soft posterior information

Researchers have introduced Message-Passing Quantization (MPQ), a novel approach to post-training quantization for large language models. Unlike existing methods that commit to single codewords for weight blocks prematurely, MPQ preserves soft posterior information across blocks. This method utilizes vector approximate message passing to compute approximate blockwise posteriors before committing to hard codewords, leading to improved perplexity and zero-shot accuracy on models like Llama, Qwen, and Mistral.
