<span style="color: #7FFF7F;">Ultra-Low-Bit Quantization with IQ-DynamicGate (1-2 bit)</span>

Our latest quantization method introduces precision-adaptive quantization for ultra-low-bit models (1-2 bit), with benchmark-proven improvements on Llama-3-8B. This approach uses layer-specific strategies to preserve accuracy while maintaining extreme memory efficiency.

Benchmark Context

All tests conducted on Llama-3-8B-Instruct using:

• Standard perplexity evaluation pipeline
• 2048-token context window
• Same prompt set across all quantizations

Method

• Dynamic Precision Allocation:
  • First/Last 25% of layers → IQ4_XS (selected layers)
  • Middle 50% → IQ2_XXS/IQ3_S (increase efficiency)
• Critical Component Protection:
  • Embeddings/output layers use Q5_K
  • Reduces error propagation by 38% vs standard 1-2bit

Quantization Performance Comparison (Llama-3-8B)

Key:

• PPL = Perplexity (lower is better)
• Δ PPL = Percentage change from standard to DynamicGate
• Speed = Inference time (CPU avx2, 2048 token context)
• Size differences reflect mixed quantization overhead

Key Improvements:

• 🔥 IQ1_M shows massive 43.9% perplexity reduction (27.46 → 15.41)
• 🚀 IQ2_S cuts perplexity by 36.9% while adding only 0.2GB
• ⚡ IQ1_S maintains 39.7% better accuracy despite 1-bit quantization

Tradeoffs:

• All variants have modest size increases (0.1-0.3GB)
• Inference speeds remain comparable (<5% difference)

When to Use These Models

📌 Fitting models into GPU VRAM

✔ Memory-constrained deployments

✔ Cpu and Edge Devices where 1-2bit errors can be tolerated

✔ Research into ultra-low-bit quantization

Choosing the Right Model Format

Selecting the correct model format depends on your hardware capabilities and memory constraints.

BF16 (Brain Float 16) – Use if BF16 acceleration is available

• A 16-bit floating-point format designed for faster computation while retaining good precision.
• Provides similar dynamic range as FP32 but with lower memory usage.
• Recommended if your hardware supports BF16 acceleration (check your device's specs).
• Ideal for high-performance inference with reduced memory footprint compared to FP32.

📌 Use BF16 if:
✔ Your hardware has native BF16 support (e.g., newer GPUs, TPUs).
✔ You want higher precision while saving memory.
✔ You plan to requantize the model into another format.

📌 Avoid BF16 if:
❌ Your hardware does not support BF16 (it may fall back to FP32 and run slower).
❌ You need compatibility with older devices that lack BF16 optimization.

---

F16 (Float 16) – More widely supported than BF16

• A 16-bit floating-point high precision but with less of range of values than BF16.
• Works on most devices with FP16 acceleration support (including many GPUs and some CPUs).
• Slightly lower numerical precision than BF16 but generally sufficient for inference.

📌 Use F16 if:
✔ Your hardware supports FP16 but not BF16.
✔ You need a balance between speed, memory usage, and accuracy.
✔ You are running on a GPU or another device optimized for FP16 computations.

📌 Avoid F16 if:
❌ Your device lacks native FP16 support (it may run slower than expected).
❌ You have memory limitations.

---

Quantized Models (Q4_K, Q6_K, Q8, etc.) – For CPU & Low-VRAM Inference

Quantization reduces model size and memory usage while maintaining as much accuracy as possible.

• Lower-bit models (Q4_K) → Best for minimal memory usage, may have lower precision.
• Higher-bit models (Q6_K, Q8_0) → Better accuracy, requires more memory.

📌 Use Quantized Models if:
✔ You are running inference on a CPU and need an optimized model.
✔ Your device has low VRAM and cannot load full-precision models.
✔ You want to reduce memory footprint while keeping reasonable accuracy.

📌 Avoid Quantized Models if:
❌ You need maximum accuracy (full-precision models are better for this).
❌ Your hardware has enough VRAM for higher-precision formats (BF16/F16).

---

Very Low-Bit Quantization (IQ3_XS, IQ3_S, IQ3_M, Q4_K, Q4_0)

These models are optimized for extreme memory efficiency, making them ideal for low-power devices or large-scale deployments where memory is a critical constraint.

• IQ3_XS: Ultra-low-bit quantization (3-bit) with extreme memory efficiency.

  • Use case: Best for ultra-low-memory devices where even Q4_K is too large.
  • Trade-off: Lower accuracy compared to higher-bit quantizations.

• IQ3_S: Small block size for maximum memory efficiency.

  • Use case: Best for low-memory devices where IQ3_XS is too aggressive.

• IQ3_M: Medium block size for better accuracy than IQ3_S.

  • Use case: Suitable for low-memory devices where IQ3_S is too limiting.

• Q4_K: 4-bit quantization with block-wise optimization for better accuracy.

  • Use case: Best for low-memory devices where Q6_K is too large.

• Q4_0: Pure 4-bit quantization, optimized for ARM devices.

  • Use case: Best for ARM-based devices or low-memory environments.

Help me test my AI-Powered Network Monitor Assistant with quantum-ready security checks:
👉 Quantum Network Monitor

💬 How to test:
Choose an AI assistant type:

• TurboLLM (GPT-4o-mini)
• HugLLM (Hugginface Open-source)
• TestLLM (Experimental CPU-only)

What I’m Testing

I’m pushing the limits of small open-source models for AI network monitoring, specifically:

• Function calling against live network services
• How small can a model go while still handling:
  • Automated Nmap scans
  • Quantum-readiness checks
  • Network Monitoring tasks

🟡 TestLLM – Current experimental model (llama.cpp on 2 CPU threads):

• ✅ Zero-configuration setup
• ⏳ 30s load time (slow inference but no API costs)
• 🔧 Help wanted! If you’re into edge-device AI, let’s collaborate!

Other Assistants

🟢 TurboLLM – Uses gpt-4o-mini for:

• Create custom cmd processors to run .net code on Quantum Network Monitor Agents
• Real-time network diagnostics and monitoring
• Security Audits
• Penetration testing (Nmap/Metasploit)

🔵 HugLLM – Latest Open-source models:

• 🌐 Runs on Hugging Face Inference API

💡 Example commands to you could test:

1. "Give me info on my websites SSL certificate"
2. "Check if my server is using quantum safe encyption for communication"
3. "Run a comprehensive security audit on my server"
4. '"Create a cmd processor to .. (what ever you want)" Note you need to install a Quantum Network Monitor Agent to run the .net code from. This is a very flexible and powerful feature. Use with caution!

Final Word

I fund the servers used to create these model files, run the Quantum Network Monitor service, and pay for inference from Novita and OpenAI—all out of my own pocket. All the code behind the model creation and the Quantum Network Monitor project is open source. Feel free to use whatever you find helpful.

If you appreciate the work, please consider buying me a coffee ☕. Your support helps cover service costs and allows me to raise token limits for everyone.

I'm also open to job opportunities or sponsorship.

Typhoon-OCR-7B: A bilingual document parsing model built specifically for real-world documents in Thai and English inspired by models like olmOCR based on Qwen2.5-VL-Instruction.

Try our demo available on Demo

Code / Examples available on Github

Release Blog available on OpenTyphoon Blog

*Remark: This model is intended to be used with a specific prompt only; it will not work with any other prompts.

Real-World Document Support

1. Structured Documents: Financial reports, Academic papers, Books, Government forms

Output format:

• Markdown for general text
• HTML for tables (including merged cells and complex layouts)
• Figures, charts, and diagrams are represented using figure tags for structured visual understanding

Each figure undergoes multi-layered interpretation:

• Observation: Detects elements like landscapes, buildings, people, logos, and embedded text
• Context Analysis: Infers context such as location, event, or document section
• Text Recognition: Extracts and interprets embedded text (e.g., chart labels, captions) in Thai or English
• Artistic & Structural Analysis: Captures layout style, diagram type, or design choices contributing to document tone
• Final Summary: Combines all insights into a structured figure description for tasks like summarization and retrieval

2. Layout-Heavy & Informal Documents: Receipts, Menus papers, Tickets, Infographics

Output format:

• Markdown with embedded tables and layout-aware structures

Performance

Summary of Findings

Typhoon OCR outperforms both GPT-4o and Gemini 2.5 Flash in Thai document understanding, particularly on documents with complex layouts and mixed-language content. However, in the Thai books benchmark, performance slightly declined due to the high frequency and diversity of embedded figures. These images vary significantly in type and structure, which poses challenges for our current figure tag parsing. This highlights a potential area for future improvement—specifically, in enhancing the model's image understanding capabilities. For this version, our primary focus has been on achieving high-quality OCR for both English and Thai text. Future releases may extend support to more advanced image analysis and figure interpretation.

Prompting

This model only works with the specific prompts defined below, where {base_text} refers to information extracted from the PDF metadata using the get_anchor_text function from the typhoon-ocr package. It will not function correctly with any other prompts.

PROMPTS_SYS = {
    "default": lambda base_text: (f"Below is an image of a document page along with its dimensions. "
        f"Simply return the markdown representation of this document, presenting tables in markdown format as they naturally appear.\n"
        f"If the document contains images, use a placeholder like dummy.png for each image.\n"
        f"Your final output must be in JSON format with a single key `natural_text` containing the response.\n"
        f"RAW_TEXT_START\n{base_text}\nRAW_TEXT_END"),
    "structure": lambda base_text: (
        f"Below is an image of a document page, along with its dimensions and possibly some raw textual content previously extracted from it. "
        f"Note that the text extraction may be incomplete or partially missing. Carefully consider both the layout and any available text to reconstruct the document accurately.\n"
        f"Your task is to return the markdown representation of this document, presenting tables in HTML format as they naturally appear.\n"
        f"If the document contains images or figures, analyze them and include the tag <figure>IMAGE_ANALYSIS</figure> in the appropriate location.\n"
        f"Your final output must be in JSON format with a single key `natural_text` containing the response.\n"
        f"RAW_TEXT_START\n{base_text}\nRAW_TEXT_END"
    ),
}

Generation Parameters

We suggest using the following generation parameters. Since this is an OCR model, we do not recommend using a high temperature. Make sure the temperature is set to 0 or 0.1, not higher.

temperature=0.1,
top_p=0.6,
repetition_penalty: 1.2

Intended Uses & Limitations

This is a task-specific model intended to be used only with the provided prompts. It does not include any guardrails or VQA capability. Due to the nature of large language models (LLMs), a certain level of hallucination may occur. We recommend that developers carefully assess these risks in the context of their specific use case.
