"Scaling Laws for Precision" published — proposed precision-aware scaling laws in which low-precision training reduces a model's effective parameter count. The more training data, the greater the degradation from post-training quantization

Why it matters

A study that tested, at the level of scaling laws, whether FP8/FP4 works. Redefined precision not as a free optimization but as a trade against capacity
