ds4 enables local LLM execution via asymmetric 2-bit quantization
October 2, 2026
The ds4 framework utilizes asymmetric 2-bit quantization to compress routed experts within MoE architectures while maintaining high precision for critical shared paths. This method allows large routed-MoE models to fit onto target local hardware.
