How Baidu’s End‑to‑End Quantization Stack Supercharges Large‑Model Inference on Kunlun XPU

Baidu Baige built a full‑stack quantization pipeline that integrates model‑level, framework‑level, and hardware‑level optimizations on the Kunlun XPU platform, enabling FP16/BF16 large models to be compressed to 25‑50% of their original size while boosting inference speed by 30‑50% and dramatically reducing memory consumption for enterprise deployments.
