arXiv:2606.04050v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing quantization methods are fundamentally limited by rigid, integer-based bit-widths (e.g., 2, 3-bit), resulting in a ``deployment gap" where Large Language Models cannot be optimally fitted to specific memory budgets. To bridge this gap, we introduce LiftQuant, a novel framework that enables continuous bit-width control for true Pareto-optimal deployment. The core innovation is a ``lift-then-project" mechanism which approximates low-dimensional weight vectors by projecting a simple 1-bit lattice from a higher-dimensional ``lifted" space. C
