Researchers have introduced GEMQ, a novel method for mixed-precision quantization specifically designed for Mixture-of-Experts Large Language Models (MoE-LLMs). This approach addresses the significant memory overhead of MoE-LLMs by allocating expert-wise bit-widths based on their importance, aiming to optimize the accuracy-memory trade-off. GEMQ employs a global linear-programming formulation for a more accurate estimation of expert importance and includes an efficient router fine-tuning step to adapt the model's routing mechanism to the quantized experts, leading to reduced memory usage and faster inference with minimal accuracy loss.
