Escha claims 2bit quant matches FP8 performance in benchmarks
luedtek · reddit · 2026-08-21
The community is discussing a claim by Escha that their 2bit quantized models achieve performance on par with FP8 in benchmarks.
- Skepticism & Testing: The claim seems "too good to be true." The author is spinning up a test environment to verify this using SGLang and DFlash2.
If confirmed, this would represent a major breakthrough in quantization efficiency.
