Hybrid LLMs pair softmax attention with linear-attention layers such as Gated DeltaNet (GDN), whose recurrent state summarizes the context in fixed size. Early community 4-bit quantizations of Qwen3.8-27B (48 GDN layers, 16 attention layers) left the GDN block in 8- or 16-bit pre…

arXiv:2609.02107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Discrete visual tokenization, predominantly driven by vector, scalar, and product quantization, lacks a unified conceptual framework for understanding quantization tradeoffs. In this paper, we propose a unified rate--distortion pers…
arXiv:2609.01587v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-training quantization (PTQ) is widely used to reduce the cost of serving large language models (LLMs), but its accuracy cost is uneven and is often tuned per model. We study where quantization damage occurs and how to allocat…
arXiv:2609.00049v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-training quantization (PTQ) is essential for deploying large language models (LLMs) under strict resource constraints. State-of-the-art PTQ methods quantize each layer with a single closed-form second-order solver: to remain …

arXiv:2609.00450v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Block Quantization (BQ) is a promising approach for efficient deployment of large language models (LLMs), enabling low-precision computation with controlled accuracy degradation. Compared to scalar weight-only quantization (WoQ), …
arXiv:2608.30564v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixed-precision quantization (MPQ) assigns a different bitwidth to each linear layer of a large language model (LLM) to minimize the quantization-induced quality loss under a fixed budget, but Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models conta…
arXiv:2608.28003v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper proposes a layer bit allocation method for Gemma-3-1B, formulating the problem as performance maximization (latency decrease) given a degradation budget constraint (allowable level of generation quality loss). This approa…
