INT4 仅权重量化:解码加速、Prefill 停滞解析

仅权重 INT4 量化虽然能有效减少内存流量并加速 LLM 推理的解码阶段,但并不能改善 Prefill 阶段。这是因为 Prefill 是计算密集型的,即它受限于 GPU 的处理能力而非内存带宽。INT4 权重所需的解量化过程会增加开销,抵消了 Prefill 阶段的任何潜在收益。对于计算密集型场景,建议的替代方案是量化激活或接受 INT4 以获得容量优势。 AI

影响 理解量化权衡对于优化 LLM 推理成本和性能至关重要。

    为什么 INT4 仅权重量化不会加速 Prefill

    <p>You benchmark a 70B model with <code>batch_size=1</code>, one prompt, one stream. FP16 gives you 18 tokens/sec. You swap in an AWQ INT4 checkpoint and get 55 tokens/sec. Three times faster, same GPU, ~1 point of accuracy lost. You ship it.</p> <p>Then production traffic arrive…
