GlowQ: Group-Shared LOw-Rank Approximation for Quantized LLMs

arXiv – CS AI|Selim An, Il hong Suh, Yeseong Kim|
🤖AI Summary

Researchers propose GlowQ, a new quantization technique for large language models that reduces memory overhead and latency while maintaining accuracy. The method uses group-shared low-rank approximation to optimize deployment of quantized LLMs, showing significant performance improvements over existing approaches.

Key Takeaways
  • GlowQ reduces time-to-first-byte by 5.6% and increases throughput by 9.6% compared to existing quantization methods.
  • The selective variant GlowQ-S achieves even better performance with 23.4% TTFB reduction and 37.4% throughput increase.
  • The technique addresses accuracy degradation issues in 4-bit quantization while reducing memory overhead.
  • GlowQ uses a shared right factor per input group to minimize parameter overhead while maintaining layer-specific corrections.
  • The method shows improved perplexity scores on WikiText-2 and better downstream task accuracy compared to baselines.
