Pipeline notes

The summary and note below are generated by the signal pipeline — they are Beyond Desk’s reading, not quotations from the source.

A technique for improving low-bit quantization quality of Qwen3-8B by using a prefiller model streamed from SSD during inference, potentially mitigating quality loss in aggressive quantization.

Concrete inference setup for local LLM users running heavily quantized models. Worth a look if you hit quality issues at low quants.
