We demonstrate Conclusion SmoothQuant balances quantization difficulty between activations and weights. We implement three efficiency levels of quantization settings for SmoothQuant. However, existing methods cannot maintain accuracy and hardware efficiency at the same We propose SmoothQuant, a training-free, accuracy-preserving, and general-purpose post-training quantization (PTQ) solution to enable 8-bit weight, 8 Papers’s core contribution is introducing an innovative post-training quantization method that enables accurate 8-bit quantization for both weights and activations (W8A8). All compute-intensive operators, such as linear layers and batched matrix multiplications (BMMs) use INT8 arithmetic. However, for LLMs beyond SmoothQuant can accurately quantize MT-NLG 530B model and reduce the serving GPU numbers by half at a similar latency, which allows serving the 530B model within a single node. - Zhen-Dong/Awesome-Quantization-Papers activation是运行时结果,SmoothQuant通过将当前层的平滑因子s融合到上一层的weight中,从而实现离线平滑模型; 通过SmoothQuant的平滑操作,模型 We propose SmoothQuant, an accurate and efficient post-training quantization (PTQ) solution for LLMs. 0 is recommended to shift all the quantization difficulty from the weights into the View a PDF of the paper titled SmoothQuant: Accurate and Efficient Post-Training Quantization for Large Language Models, by Guangxuan Xiao and 5 other authors Large language models (LLMs) show excellent performance but are compute- and memory-intensive. 0 is recommended to shift all the quantization difficulty from the activations into the weights. rw3s rvh mxf mvf 54yg
