UnverifiedQwen3 27B is trained in BF16, and forcibly applying 1-bit PTQ to it causes a large amount of numerical information to be discarded, severely impairing the model's internal representational capacity.80% similarUnverifiedThe performance drop from 2-bit to 1-bit is far greater than the drop from Q4 to Q2, representing a clear performance cliff.75% similarUnverifiedQuantization below Q4 (such as Q3 or Q2) causes excessive loss of weight information on coding tasks, leading to a sharp decline in output quality.74% similarUnverifiedAt the 27B parameter scale, excessively aggressive weight editing causes the Qwen 3.8 model to fall into a thinking loop, unable to complete normal reasoning.73% similarUnverifiedQuantization loss amplifies non-linearly with task complexity: the gap between Q2 and Q8 is small for simple tasks, but low-quantization versions experience a cliff-like performance drop in complex scenarios.72% similar
