Closing the Null Space: Guidance-Aware Quantization for Classifier-Free Diffusion
Abdullah Al Shafi, Sumaiya Rahim Suma
Deploying classifier-free guidance (CFG) diffusion models under real-world compute budgets requires quantization, yet existing post-training quantization (PTQ) methods treat CFG models as single-branch networks, ignoring the paired conditional/unconditional structure that CFG inf…
