ArXiv 2603.17917 demonstrates that model performance depends on preserving relative weight ordering within clusters, not absolute values. Holds across 7B–70B parameter models. This enables a new class of compression strategies orthogonal to quantization — discard absolute precision, maintain rank structure. arXiv
