Novel Contributions

  • Applies activation-aware mixed-precision GPTQ on top of the PR #1855 base stack
  • Uses AWQ-lite saliency scoring from activation RMS and mean absolute weight magnitude
  • Quantizes the most salient 64-column group per matrix at int8 while keeping the rest at int6
  • Reports a 3-seed mean validation bpb of 1.06086
