Vec-LUT delivers up to 4.2x speedup over prior LUT methods for parallel ultra-low-bit LLM inference on edge devices by unifying lookups across tokens and adding cache-aware tensor layouts.
BITEMBED trains 1.58-bit ternary-weight LLM embedders with contrastive pre-training, supervised distillation, and multi-precision output training, matching FP16 teachers within ~0.6 MMTEB points at ~2x CPU speed.
LC-QAT achieves data-efficient 2-bit weight-only QAT for LLMs by representing quantized weights as a learned affine transform over discrete vectors, supporting end-to-end optimization from a high-quality PTQ start.
SANTA replaces full value-cache multiply-accumulates with stochastic gather-and-add sampling from the attention distribution to reduce memory bandwidth while preserving an unbiased estimator.
VitaLLM delivers 70.7 tokens/s decoding in a 0.223 mm² TSMC 16 nm chip at 66 mW with a figure-of-merit of 17.4 TOPS/mm²/W by combining TINT cores, BoothFlex attention, leading-one prediction, and dependency-aware scheduling.
LBLLM achieves better accuracy than prior binarization methods for LLMs by decoupling weight and activation quantization through initialization, layer-wise distillation, and learnable activation scaling.
A progressive training scheme with binary-aware initialization and dual-scaling allows pre-trained LLMs to be converted to high-performance 1-bit models without training from scratch.
A spike-aware C++ INT8 runtime for sparse spiking LMs delivers 22.63 tokens/s single-thread on Ryzen 7, beating several Q8_0 dense models in llama.cpp while cutting weights from 3.49 GB to 1.06 GB, at the cost of higher perplexity.
Weight-quantized LLMs retain universal approximation up to 1.58 bits with expressive collapse below it and polynomial degradation in capacity as bit count falls.
GoldenFloat introduces a phi-derived rule for setting exponent and fraction widths across floating-point formats from 4 to 1024 bits, backed by open RTL generator, Lucas-exact accumulator, and FPGA implementation.
ECG foundation models for signal interpretation and medical LLMs for reasoning can be integrated into agentic systems for real-time cardiovascular intelligence on edge devices.
