arXiv:2605.23078v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts Large Language Models (MoE-LLMs) achieve strong performance but incur substantial memory overhead due to massive expert parameters. Mixed-precision quantization mitigates this cost by allocating expert-wise bit-widths based on their importance, approaching the accuracy-memory Pareto frontier and enabling extreme low-bit quantization. However, existing methods rely on layer-wise importance estimation and overlook router shifts induced by quantization, resulting in suboptimal allocation and routing. In this work, we propose Globa
The increasing scale and memory demands of MoE LLMs for frontier AI create an urgent need for efficient quantization techniques that maintain performance.
This development addresses a critical bottleneck in the deployment and scaling of powerful AI models, making them more accessible and cost-effective.
Advanced quantization methods like GEMQ allow for significantly reduced memory footprint and computational cost for MoE LLMs without substantial accuracy loss, enabling broader application.
