: The remaining "non-sensitive" weights are quantized to a low bit-width (e.g., 3 or 4 bits) using a very small group size to minimize local error.

SpQR: Sparse-Quantized Representation for Near-Lossless LLM Compression SPQR.SPQRAlive.18.var

: These sensitive weights (usually less than 1% of the total) are extracted and stored in their original 16-bit precision. : The remaining "non-sensitive" weights are quantized to

SpQR represents a shift from uniform quantization to . By treating weights differently based on their importance, it bridges the gap between massive model scales and accessible hardware. SPQR.SPQRAlive.18.var

: Pre-defined sparsity levels (e.g., 1% outliers) to ensure predictable memory usage.

: Optimization for specific GPU architectures (e.g., NVIDIA Ampere or Hopper). Conclusion
