Post-training quantization (PTQ) can usually still maintain quality at 8 bits or even 4 bits, but when pushed to around 2 bits the error increases noticeably.

UnverifiedPost-hoc quantization usually causes noticeable performance degradation at small bit widths, whereas QAT simulates quantization errors during training to maintain low-precision output quality.77% similarUnverifiedIn code comprehension tasks, the performance gap between 4-bit quantization and full-precision versions is generally within an acceptable range.71% similarUnverifiedFor existing post-training quantization methods to reach precision close to FP32, they basically must use INT8 fixed-point integers, and performance drops noticeably when the bit width is below INT8.71% similarUnverified4bit quantization is the compression of model weights from the 16-bit floating-point numbers commonly used during training into a 4-bit integer representation, usually retaining only a small number of scaling factors to reduce precision loss, and its direct benefit is that memory usage drops to about one quarter of the original.70% similarUnverifiedThe key to compressing 74B parameters to 2-bit without severe quality loss lies in quantization-aware training (QAT) rather than post-hoc quantization.69% similar
