Researchers have introduced CodeQuant2, a novel quantization framework designed to improve the performance of low-precision Large Reasoning Models (LRMs). This method addresses challenges in reasoning tasks by mitigating activation outliers through rotation and scaling, and by using clustering to represent non-uniform weight distributions. CodeQuant2 also adapts codebook sizes based on layer quantization difficulty and refines calibration sample selection to better match decoding statistics, resulting in significant accuracy gains and speedups on reasoning benchmarks.
