Activation-aware quantization improves GPQA accuracy but slows Gemma 3 4B QAT
devildip · reddit · 2026-07-21
- The poster is testing activation-aware quantization and sees a clear trade-off: higher accuracy comes with lower throughput.
- On GPQA with Gemma 3 4B QAT, the test setup reached 27.8% accuracy at 331 ms, while the control reached 23.2% at 256 ms.
- The question is practical rather than theoretical: if you had to choose, would you prefer faster quantization or more accurate quantization?
