Research proposes mixed quantization strategy for faster LLM inference
A new paper argues for applying aggressive quantization only to the prefilling phase while keeping decoding at full precision, avoiding error accumulation in token generation.

Researchers have published a paper advocating for a mixed quantization approach that treats prefilling and decoding as distinct optimization targets. The strategy applies aggressive weight-and-activation quantization (W4A4) during context encoding while maintaining full precision during the token ge...
