OrbitQuant 0.1.6 Release Notes

OrbitQuant 0.1.6 aligns generated codebooks and activation normalization with
the OrbitQuant paper and improves compact Hugging Face artifact publication.

Install

pip install "orbitquant[hf]==0.1.6"

For optimized packed-weight inference dependencies:

pip install "orbitquant[kernels]==0.1.6"

Changes

  • New artifacts use converged Lloyd-Max codebook version 2 derived from the
    exact beta marginal of unit-sphere coordinates.
  • Activation normalization follows the paper's x / (norm(x) + 1e-10) rule
    in reference, Triton CUDA, and Metal paths.
  • Existing version 1 artifacts remain loadable with their original codebooks.
  • Compact uploads can consume a validated compare-native bundle, publish one
    canonical comparison matrix, and retain paired native-smoke evidence without
    uploading raw generated images or videos.

Runtime

runtime_mode="auto_fused" remains the default. CUDA prefers the importable
native packed-matmul package and otherwise uses Triton; MPS uses the native
Metal package. runtime_mode="dequant_bf16" remains an explicit reference and
debug mode.

The package does not claim a universal throughput gain. Backend and model
performance depend on shape, device, framework version, and offload policy.
