Additive quantization for truly tiny compressed diffusion models by Hasan, Adil

“…We are rewarded with state-of-the-art results on the important class-conditional benchmark of LDM-4 on ImageNet at 20 inference time steps, in- cluding sFID as much as 1.93 points lower than the full-precision model at W4A8, the best-reported results for FID, sFID and ISC at W2A8, and the first-ever successful quantization to W1.5A8 (less than 1.5 bits stored per weight). Furthermore, our pro- posed method allows for a dynamic trade-off between quantization-time GPU hours and inference-time savings, in line with the recent trend of approaches blending the best as- pects of post-training quantization (PTQ) and quantization-aware training (QAT), and demonstrates FLOPs savings on arbitrary hardware via an efficient inference kernel.…”
