Quantization is not lossless compression; the lower the precision, the greater the degradation in model inference quality (perplexity, logical reasoning capability), and 4-bit quantization is considered a good balance point between quality and size.

UnverifiedIt is widely recognized in the industry that quantization below 2-bit leads to significant capability degradation on high-precision tasks such as complex multi-step reasoning and mathematical computation.79% similarUnverified2-bit quantization means each weight has only about 4 possible discrete values, making it extremely sensitive to precision and usually requiring techniques such as group quantization and scaling factors.78% similarVerifiedVector quantization always faces the fundamental challenge of a precision-efficiency trade-off: the higher the compression ratio, the greater the quantization error and the lower the recall rate.78% similarVerified4-bit quantization introduces some accuracy loss, but in many practical tasks its performance is very close to that of the original model.76% similarVerified量化会不可避免地引入精度损失，在逻辑推理等对准确性敏感的任务上可能出现性能下降76% similar
