Rethinking Small VLM Quantization: From Component-Wise Analysis to Hardware-Aware Edge Deployment
Robotics & Manufacturing
Summary
arXiv:2607.08029v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The emergence of vision language models with fewer than 3 billion parameters has accelerated the implementation of on-device multimodal intelligence. However, a detailed understanding of component-wise quantization remains a bottleneck for optimal deployment. This paper presents a systematic evaluation framework for empirically validating five hypotheses across six quantization configurations on the Jetson Orin NX and AGX.
