QUASAR: Lowering the Loss Floor of Quantization-Aware Training with Loss-Aware Reconstruction
arXiv:2608.13966v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language model inference shifts toward lower precision, post-training quantization (PTQ) becomes increasingly brittle, making quantization-aware training (QAT) essential for preserving model quality. However, QAT has a structural mis
