Llama-2-13b — KronQ W4A16 (packed int4)

Paper: arXiv:2607.07964 · Code: GitHub

Llama-2-13b quantized to 4-bit weights / 16-bit activations with KronQ (Kronecker-factored Hessian quantization). Weights are stored packed int4 (~6.9 GB vs 26 GB fp16); a fused dequant + bidirectional-incoherence (BiIP) CUDA kernel unpacks them on the fly.

Usage

KronQ-packed checkpoint (model.safetensors carries biip_w_codes/scale/zero + BiIP buffers, see kronq_packed_config.json). Load with the KronQ runtime:

python eval_pretrained.py meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-hf donghyunli/Llama-2-13b-KronQ-W4A16 --ppl --zs

Recipe

Per-channel asymmetric W4, weight-only (a_bits=16), --alpha 0.25, bidirectional incoherence processing (BiIP), act_order, raw H_G. Calibrated on 128 WikiText-2 sequences.
