GlowQ: Group-Shared LOw-Rank Approximation for Quantized LLMs

Quantization techniques such as BitsAndBytes, AWQ, and GPTQ are widely used as a standard method in deploying large language models but often degrades accuracy when using low-bit representations, e.g., 4 bits. Low-rank correction methods (e.g., LQER, QERA, ASER) has been proposed to mitigate this issue, however, they restore all layers and insert error-correction modules into every decoder block, which increases latency and memory overhead. To address this limitation, we propose GlowQ, a group-shared low-rank approximation for quantized LLMs that caches a single shared right factor per input-sharing group and restores only the groups or layers that yield the highest accuracy benefit.
