ScaleSearch method enhances AI model quantization accuracy

Researchers have developed a new method called ScaleSearch to optimize the selection of scale factors in Block Floating Point (BFP) quantization for generative models. This technique aims to minimize quantization errors by leveraging mantissa bits, thereby improving the performance of existing quantization methods like Post Training Quantization (PTQ) and low-precision attention. Experiments demonstrate significant reductions in quantization error and performance improvements on language models such as Qwen3-8B and Llama 3.1 70B, while maintaining near-baseline accuracy. AI
