"After K2-Thinking's release, many developers have been curious about its native INT4 quantization format.
Shaowei Liu, **infra engineer** at u/Kimi-Moonshot shares an insider's view on why this choice matters, and why quantization today isn't just about sacrificing precision for speed.

how closely LLMs mirror actual human decision-making remains poorly understood.

their inference process is inherently sequential, resulting in very long and
