Google Paper: 55-70% of Quantized LLM Cold-Start Latency Is Weight Loading

A Google paper measuring quantized small LLMs on serverless CPUs found that 55-70% of cold-start latency comes from loading model weights into memory rather than token generation, pointing to weight loading as the key optimization target.
