We introduce QUICK, a group of novel optimized CUDA kernels for the efficient inference of quantized Large Language Models (LLMs). QUICK addresses the shared memory bank-conflict problem of state-of-the-art mixed precision matrix multiplication kernels. Our method interleaves the quantized weight matrices of LLMs offline to skip the shared memory write-back after the dequantization. We demonstrate up to 1.91x speedup over existing kernels of AutoAWQ on larger batches and up to 1.94x throughput gain on representative LLM models on various NVIDIA GPU devices.

Q-resafe: Assessing Safety Risks and Quantization-aware Safety Patching for Quantized Large Language Models
Q-resafe restores much of the safety lost in quantized LLMs by distilling the original model's responses through DPO while selectively updating only safety-critical weights.
