New ScaleSearch method boosts generative model efficiency via optimized quantization

Researchers have developed a new method called ScaleSearch to improve the efficiency of generative models through quantization. This technique optimizes the selection of scale factors in Block Floating Point (BFP) formats, reducing quantization errors by up to 27%. The proposed ScaleSearchAttention algorithm, integrated with BFP, demonstrates near-zero performance loss in causal language modeling and shows significant improvements in accuracy for models like Qwen3-8B and Llama 3.1 70B.
