BWLA: Breaking the Barrier of W1AX Post-Training Quantization for LLMs
Researchers introduce BWLA, a post-training quantization framework that achieves 1-bit weight compression alongside low-bit activations for large language models, addressing a critical bottleneck in LLM deployment. The method delivers 3.26× inference speedup on Qwen3-32B while maintaining competitive accuracy, potentially enabling more efficient LLM inference across resource-constrained environments.
