Less Precise Can Be More Reliable: A Systematic Evaluation of Quantization’s Impact on VLMs Beyond Accuracy

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP have revolutionized zero-shot classification and safety-critical tasks, including Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection. However, their high computational cost hinders efficient real-world deployment. While quantization is a standard solution for efficiency, …
