Researchers have developed a new post-training quantization framework called Timestep-Aware SVDQuant-GPTQ to address memory challenges in large video diffusion Transformers. This method specifically targets W4A4 quantization, which offers significant memory savings but is complicated by activation outliers and timestep-dependent distributions. The framework is designed to handle the distinct quantization sensitivities of the two experts in Wan2.2-I2V's Mixture-of-Experts design, leading to a 59.3% reduction in peak GPU memory with minimal impact on performance metrics like VBench and Imaging Quality.
