Study guide & lesson outline
LEARNING CONTRACTUnderstand → implement → investigate
Goal: explain the mechanism in this lesson, reproduce one example and test a failure case. Reading alone does not mark mastery.
- Understand: state assumptions, shapes/units and a counterexample.
- Implement: reproduce a numerical example and inspect boundaries.
- Investigate: compare one alternative under a matched budget.

Symmetric per-tensor scalar quantizer with range ±(2^(bits−1)−1). This is not LLM.int8(), GPTQ or AWQ. Ideal compression ignores scale metadata and runtime packing. Scalar error does not measure language-model accuracy.

scale=max|x|/(2^(bits−1)−1); q=round(x/scale); x̂=q×scale
Low scalar MSE does not guarantee stable downstream model quality.

실험 열기 →quantization-2 / 07Is “Eight-bit reconstruction” a benchmark of a deployed language model?
No. Symmetric per-tensor scalar quantizer with range ±(2^(bits−1)−1). This is not LLM.int8(), GPTQ or AWQ. Ideal compression ignores scale metadata and runtime packing. Scalar error does not measure language-model accuracy.

실험 열기 →quantization-2 / 08Which evidence should you report for “Eight-bit reconstruction”?
Compare reconstruction error, MSE, scale and ideal compression. Export inputs, engine, result and method; distinguish synthetic fixtures from observed production data.

실험 열기 →quantization-2 / 09How can another researcher reproduce “Eight-bit reconstruction”?
Open quantization-2, reset the preset, retain the exact inputs and run. The calculation is deterministic for identical inputs.

실험 열기 →quantization-2 / 10What is the next validation step after “Eight-bit reconstruction”?
Low scalar MSE does not guarantee stable downstream model quality. Test the hypothesis on a representative held-out workload and document a baseline, success metric and stopping rule before claiming deployment readiness.

실험 열기 →Assumptions, implementation & acceptance
This is symmetric per-tensor rounding; metadata is excluded from ideal compression. All-zero tensors use a safe scale of 1. Do not interpret scalar reconstruction MSE as LLM quality.
Engine formulas, scenario presets and numerical safeguards reviewed. Seeded synthetic inputs are not a production benchmark.
Before running: predict a boundary case
More quantization levels usually reduce reconstruction error.
Hint: isolate the assumption
Keep the baseline input fixed, change one parameter or boundary, and compare both the numerical result and the claimed units. A passing example verifies this fixture only.
Minimal executable example
Save the example and linked modules in one folder. Use Node.js 22 or newer, then run node quantization-2.mjs. No third-party runtime dependencies.
import {calculate,network} from './academy-core.mjs';
const params={
"values": "-1,-0.7,-0.2,0,0.15,0.4,0.8,1",
"bits": 8
};
const result=calculate('quantization',params);
console.log(result.metrics);Test and transfer
More quantization levels usually reduce reconstruction error.
Record input, code version, expected result and observed result in the notebook below. Then construct a counterexample that violates the assumption above and explain why the original conclusion no longer follows.
