Production-Ready W4A8: vLLM Integration and Quality Recovery Techniques
Cohere Blog3 hours agoTutorialCohere’s post appears to explain how W4A8 quantization can be prepared for production inference through vLLM integration. From the title, the focus is likely on deployment mechanics and techniques for recovering model quality after aggressive quantization. Because no article body is available, specific benchmarks, supported models, implementation steps, and measured quality gains cannot be confirmed.
Why MoE Models Benefit More from Speculative Decoding
Cohere Blog3 hours agoBenchmarkCohere analyzes why speculative decoding behaves differently on Mixture-of-Experts models than on dense LLMs. Its benchmarks show MoE speedups can peak at moderate batch sizes because sparse expert routing keeps verification bandwidth-bound. The post also finds that temporal expert overlap and fixed overhead amortization make multi-token verification cheaper than simple worst-case models predict.
