Abstract:
arXiv:2606.04620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs have become the state-of-the-art algorithms for solving NLP tasks. However, they typically come at huge computational and memory costs, thus making them difficult to deploy on embedded systems. Toward this, state-of-the-art methods typically employ uniform post-training quantization (PTQ) across attention blocks of the network, hence overlooking the potential of applying different quantization levels in the same network. They also employ com
