These Researchers Just Shrunk an AI Model and Somehow Made It Smarter

In brief Multiverse Computing's team published a method called Quantization-Aware Healing on the Hugging Face blog on August 25. They shrank OpenAI's open GPT-OSS model from 120 billion parameters to 60 billion and compressed its memory to 4-bit—and the small version beat the full-quality model it was copied from on 7 of 9 tests.

The trick: teach the shrunken model from the original smart version, not the weak halfway copy. >>>> gd2md-html alert: inline image link in generated source and store images to your server. NOTE: Images in exported zip file from Google Docs may not appear in the same order as they do in your doc.
