Abstract
We propose a new hardware-efficient quantization (HEQ) for low-power full-custom foundation models. The HEQ jointly optimizes multiplier hardware and weight quantization to minimize the total power consumption. Exploiting power profile of custom multipliers, our method achieves a significant power reduction up to 20 folds.
