LLM.int8() performs 8-bit inference for transformers up to 175B parameters with no accuracy loss by combining vector-wise quantization for most features with 16-bit mixed-precision handling of systematic outlier dimensions.
AWQ quantizes LLM weights to low bits by scaling salient channels based on activation statistics, outperforming prior methods on language, coding, math, and multi-modal benchmarks.
LoRaQ enables fully sub-16-bit quantized diffusion models by optimizing low-rank error compensation in a data-free way, outperforming prior methods at equal memory cost on Pixart-Σ and SANA while supporting mixed low-precision branches.
