FAIR-Calib: Frontier-Aware Instability-Reweighted Calibration for Post-Training Quantization of Diffusion Large Language Models

arXiv:2606.06547v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) refine tokens iteratively but commit them irreversibly, leading to a "stability lag" where early decisions remain fragile even after being written. We reveal that Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) error easily flips these borderline decisions at the write frontier, which are then permanently locked in and amplified. To address this, we propose Frontier-Aware Instability-Reweighted Calibration (FAIR-Calib), a two-stage PTQ framework for dLLMs. Stage I probes a full-precision teacher to estimate a position pri
