quant_eval — Efficiency and footprint
One row per published run: stored weight artifact bytes before and after quantization, compression ratio, observed evaluation wall-time ratio with an explicit direction label, and token throughput.
Part of the quant_eval public corpus: a per-case behavioral evaluation of full-weight and quantized large language models across eight agent-relevant task families, with paired statistical testing.

Every run evaluates a full-weight baseline and a quantized variant of the same model against the identical locked fixture set, case for case. Statistical comparison is paired: the two-sided exact McNemar test on per-case outcomes, with Wilson intervals on the rates.
Figures
Observed evaluation wall-time ratio (full weight divided by quantized) for all six published pairs. Hatched bars fall below parity — the quantized run was slower. Observed harness wall time on the recorded hardware and backends; not a controlled throughput benchmark and not a general claim about quantization performance at any precision on any hardware.
Figures are generated directly from the harness rollups by the published build tooling; no plotted value is recomputed, smoothed, or fitted.

Verification
This corpus is derived from sanitized publication bundles produced by the quant_eval harness. It is designed to be checked rather than trusted:
source_bundle_checksums.json, included here, republishes, verbatim, the SHA-256 digest and byte length of every file in every source bundle. No source file was modified.- Before this file was written, the builder verified all 72 source-file digests and independently recomputed all 96 family x runner pass rates from the raw per-case rows, matching the harness rollups exactly.
- The figures here are not derived from the per-case results dataset. Stored-artifact byte counts and observed wall time are recorded by the harness at run time and are carried through from the source bundles unchanged; they are traceable through the bundle digests above, not recomputable from per-case rows. Pass-rate aggregates, which are recomputable, live in the paired degradation statistics (D5) and family pass rates (D6) datasets.
Limits you should know before using this
- Decoding conditions are not uniform across models. Temperature follows each publisher's own model card, so cross-model comparison of absolute pass rates is confounded. Within-run pairing is unaffected, which is what the paired test requires. The conditions are published per row and per run so they can be filtered on.
- Runs on the Modal substrate record
seedstatusunsupported— the deployed method signature accepts no seed — so those runs are not exactly reproducible. Local runs applied a fixed seed. - Runtime figures are observed harness wall time on the recorded hardware and backends. They are not a controlled throughput benchmark and not a general claim about quantization performance at any precision on any hardware. Direction is published as an explicit label because not every measured pair is a speedup.
- The fuzz family is an adaptive trajectory evaluated from identical starting fixtures. Its paired test compares complete case outcomes, not identical post-divergence prompts.
- Calibration runs are not published. Runs that informed a published run are disclosed by identifier in
calibration_lineage.csv, published in the run provenance dataset (D4), so the record is complete without releasing provisional numbers.
