Tencent Hunyuan Releases New Theory on Floating Point Quantization Training, Revealing the Limits of Large Model Training

In today's rapid development of Large Language Models (LLM), the training and inference costs of models have increasingly become a focus of research and application. Recently, the Tencent Hunyuan team released an important study that delves into the 'Scaling Laws' of low-bit floating point quantization training, which refers to the principles governing the scale of floating point quantization training. The core of this research lies in exploring how to significantly reduce computational and storage costs without sacrificing performance by lowering the precision of the model.
