Story

Hardware-aware compression that preserves bit-exact model outputs while reducing memory footprint and increasing throughput. Unlike quantization, zero accuracy tradeoff — drop-in safe for production inference pipelines. Substantial memory reduction on standard GPU stacks with measurable throughput gains. arXiv 2603.17435
