OrbitQuant 0.1.6
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-nativebundle, 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.
