Deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) on memory-constrained edge devices relies heavily on aggressive post-training quantization. However, evaluating these models is largely based on zero-shot task accuracy, which depends solely on argmax predictions and is insensitive to changes in the underlying predictive distr...

This work proposes Correctness Agreement, a decision-level metric that can measure the intersection of correct predictions between the base model and its quantized variant, and finds that the base and quantized variants usually have a shift in behavior even when accuracy and perplexity are preserved.

TopoTuner is competitive with full fine-tuning while training only 1-2% of the model parameters, and outperforms LoRA in 7 out of 9 model-dataset settings, which can change up to 39.57% of the projection parameters.
