Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) demand substantial computational and memory resources, creating deployment challenges. Quantization-aware training (QAT) addresses these challenges by reducing model precision while maintaining performance. However, the scaling behavior of QAT, especially at 4-bit precision (W4A4), is not…

Abstract: Repeated sampling with a verifier is the standard way to allocate test-time compute for code generation, with pass@\$K\$ as the canonical metric. Yet the standard policy class draws \$K\$ independent samples from a single answer distribution, so attempts often collapse onto near-duplicate reasoning paths and waste…
