ActQuant-Pi05-LIBERO-3.5bpw

ActQuant — Pi 0.5 LIBERO — 3.5 BPW

Quantized Pi 0.5 LIBERO-finetuned checkpoint produced with the two-stage ActQuant quantization recipe.

• Stage 1 — HSIC inter-tensor bit allocation. Per-tensor sensitivity scored with the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion against ground-truth actions; greedy per-layer L² allocator assigns a quant type per tensor under a budget.
• Stage 2 — Action-Mixed Fisher (AMF) imatrix. Per-element Fisher diagonal under the flow-matching action loss, consumed by llama-quantize for block-level scale optimization.

This variant uses Q3_K_S as the LLM allocator's base type (HSIC sens score), Q3_K vision tower, and the action expert kept at fp16. This checkpoint is the best per-bit Pareto point in the paper in the ActQuant paper.

Bits-per-weight breakdown

The headline BPW excludes the embedding and action-expert tensors, following standard quantization-paper convention: those tensors are not the target of ActQuant's block-wise allocation.

LIBERO closed-loop results

Aggregate success rate across all four LIBERO suites, 500 trials per suite (2 000 total), evaluated through the C++/GGML runtime via the pi05.so pybind11 binding (same code path that runs at deployment):
