turboquant-py implements the TurboQuant and QJL vector quantization algorithms from Google Research (ICLR 2026 / AISTATS 2026). It compresses high-dimensional floating-point vectors to 1-4 bits per ...

As Large Language Models (LLMs) expand their context windows to process massive documents and intricate conversations, they encounter a brutal hardware reality known as the "Key-Value (KV) cache ...

Abstract: Quantization is a common method to improve communication efficiency in federated learning (FL) by compressing the gradients that clients upload. Currently, most application scenarios involve ...

Experts At The Table: AI/ML is driving a steep ramp in neural processing unit (NPU) design activity for everything from data centers to edge devices such as PCs and smartphones. Semiconductor ...

It turns out the rapid growth of AI has a massive downside: namely, spiraling power consumption, strained infrastructure and runaway environmental damage. It’s clear the status quo won’t cut it ...

The reason why large language models are called ‘large’ is not because of how smart they are, but as a factor of their sheer size in bytes. At billions of parameters at four bytes each, they pose a ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in an electrical ...

Huawei’s Computing Systems Lab in Zurich has introduced a new open-source quantization method for large language models (LLMs) aimed at reducing memory demands without sacrificing output quality.

Abstract: Mixed-precision quantization offers superior performance to fixed-precision quantization. It has been widely used in signal processing, communication systems, and machine learning. In ...

Soon to be the official tool for managing Python installations on Windows, the new Python Installation Manager picks up where the ‘py’ launcher left off. Python is a first-class citizen on Microsoft ...
