ProQuant: Preserving Expert Quality over Quantity in Ultra-Low-Bit Quantization of Mixture-of-Experts Models

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models reduce computation through sparse activation but still incur substantial storage costs. Mixed-precision post-training quantization (PTQ) reduces these costs by quantizing different model components at different bit widths, but existing methods often struggle to preserve ge...

HGA-Quant: Heterogeneity-Aware Quantization for AutoRegressive Visual Generation Models

Recently, AutoRegressive Visual Generation (ARVG) models have emerged as a competitive paradigm for high-quality image synthesis. However, their substantial computational and memory demands make them difficult to deploy on resource-constrained edge devices. Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) provides a promising solution...

SAGE: Pushing 2-Bit Vector-Quantized LLMs toward Real-World Usability

Extreme low-bit weight-only quantization is an effective approach to reducing the deployment costs of large language models. Below 3 bits, scalar quantization often suffers severe accuracy loss, while vector quantization (VQ) better preserves accuracy through more expressive joint encoding. However, existing VQ methods...

CAST: Reconstruction-Coupled Acceleration of Interactive World Models

It is observed that interaction-induced feature changes correlate with approximation error, while low-frequency interpolation errors are phase-sensitive and show more predictable phase progression, which motivates CAST, a reconstruction-coupled inference framework.

VASC: Value-Aware Sparse Attention with Cross-Layer Memory for Efficient 3D Reconstruction

Feed-forward 3D vision models such as VGGT have achieved remarkable progress, unifying camera estimation and dense scene reconstruction in a single pass. However, their quadratic global attention makes long image sequences expensive, while existing sparse methods may favor highly attended yet value-redundant regions. T...

JustQuant: You Don't Need Smoothing, SVD, or Rotation for 4-Bit Activation Quantization

JustQuant is proposed, a simple yet effective framework that moves the complexity of low-bit quantization from deployment-time operators into the training process and introduces Theseus QAD, a quantization-aware distillation method that progressively applies multi-level supervision, analogous to the gradual replacement...

SPHQuant: Efficient extreme low bit weight quantization for Vision-Language Models

SPHQuant is a rotation-free spherical weight-only quantization framework for VLMs that isolates outlier magnitude into the radius while keeping directions bounded and statistically regular and designs a hardware-friendly GEMV kernel that keeps the direction codebook small enough for shared-memory lookup and packs radia...

FOCUS: FP4 Optimization via Coupled-Relaxation and Dual-Granularity Scaling

FOCUS is proposed, a post-training quantization framework with end-to-end scale learning for FP4 Optimization via Coupled-Relaxation and Dual-Granularity Scaling, which relaxes the tight coupling between quantization and dequantization scales with a learnable full-precision coefficient, enabling more effective optimiza...

ET-Prune: Evidence-Aware Dynamic Budgeting for Visual Token Pruning in Text-Rich MLLMs

Visual token pruning reduces the inference cost of multimodal large language models, but a fixed token ratio is poorly matched to text-rich inputs. In OCR-centric tasks, decisive evidence can be a small number, label, or field whose relevance is specified by the question; indiscriminate pruning can erase that evidence...
