Recurrent Residual Quantization: A Progressive Multi-Precision Representation for LLMs
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.04048v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Serving large language models (LLMs) under diverse deployment constraints requires flexible trade-offs between accuracy, memory footprint, and throughput. However, conventional quantization methods typically require a separate checkpoint for each target bit-width. We introduce Recurrent Residual Quantization (RRQ), a post-training quantization (PTQ) framework that represents weights as a low-bit quantized base together with a sequence of quantized residual corrections, enabling multiple effective precisions from a single checkpoint.
