Abstract

A framework quantizes vision-language models for mobile deployment using self-generated training data and a 2.7-bit format, compressing Llama 3.2 11B Vision Instruct to 3.7 GB with preserved visual question answering performance.

Deploying vision-language models (VLMs) on mobile devices is challenging due to their significant memory and compute requirements. We present a framework for quantizing VLMs for efficient inference on resource-constrained hardware. Our approach combines a quantization pipeline that uses the model itself to generate training data and does not require access to the training setup, with a novel 2.7-bit-per-parameter format supporting efficient execution on Arm CPUs. We validate our approach by compressing the Llama 3.2 11B Vision Instruct model to 3.7 GB with 8-bit activations, preserving strong performance on a set of standard visual question answering tasks.
