STEPQuant reduces memory and preserves accuracy in low-bit quantization of recurrent states
STEPQuant is a post-training quantization method for Delta-rule recurrent states in linear attention models that allocates bits based on error persistence and spatial impact, achieving near FP32 accuracy at 6 bits and substantial memory savings on Qwen3.8-27B and Kimi-Linear-48B.
