TAO: Tolerance-Aware Optimistic Verification for Floating-Point Neural Networks

TAO is a new verification protocol that enables users to verify neural network outputs from untrusted cloud services without requiring exact computation matches. The system uses tolerance-aware verification with IEEE-754 bounds and empirical profiles, implementing a dispute resolution mechanism deployed on Ethereum testnet.

Unleashing Low-Bit Inference on Ascend NPUs: A Comprehensive Evaluation of HiFloat Formats

Researchers evaluated HiFloat (HiF8 and HiF4) formats for low-bit inference on Ascend NPUs, finding them superior to integer formats for high-variance data and preventing accuracy collapse in 4-bit regimes. The study demonstrates HiFloat's compatibility with existing quantization frameworks and its potential for efficient large language model inference.
