How Can We Effectively Compress Large Language Models with One-Bit Weights? This Artificial Intelligence Research Proposes PB-LLM: Exploring the Potential of Partially-Binarized LLMs

Marktechpost

In Large Language Models (LLMs), Partially-Binarized LLMs (PB-LLM) is a cutting-edge technique for achieving extreme low-bit quantization in LLMs without sacrificing language reasoning capabilities. PB-LLM strategically filters salient weights during binarization, reserving them for higher-bit storage. Moreover, it introduces post-training quantization (PTQ) and quantization-aware training (QAT) methods to recover the reasoning capacity of quantized LLMs.
