Quinary quantization sparks debate on the precision-efficiency frontier

A technical discussion argues that 1.58-bit quantization is inherently very lossy since each weight needs at least 2 bits, placing quinary quantization near the precision-efficiency Pareto frontier. Intel China is rapidly following up on Bonsai's quantization technology.
