CAT-Q: Cost-efficient and Accurate Ternary Quantization for LLMs
In this paper, we present CAT-Q, **C**ost-efficient and **A**ccurate **T**ernary **Q**uantization, to compress LLMs. Unlike current state-of-the-art ternary quantization methods that rely on data-intensive and costly quantization-aware training to mitigate severe performance degradation, CAT-Q emplo…
