This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.
Use this as background context only. Do not make protocol decisions from this page alone.
All signals on this page are inferred from the abstract only and may be inaccurate. Do not use this page as a primary protocol reference.
Best use
Background context only
Use if you need
A secondary eval reference to pair with stronger protocol papers.
What to verify
Validate the evaluation procedure and quality controls in the full paper before operational use.
Main weakness
This paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.
Treat as adjacent context, not a core eval-method reference.

Serving large language models cheaply increasingly means shipping models that are both structurally compressed to a fraction of their parameters and quantized to 4 bits. Together these steps degrade reasoning, mathematics, coding, and long-context behavior enough to require a recovery, or healing, stage before deployment. The default recipe, quantization-aware training (QAT), re-fits the compressed, quantized model to hard labels; in our pipeline it converged slowly and collapsed past its peak. We adopted Quantization-Aware Healing (QAH) instead. Because a structurally compressed model is never independently trained at full precision, its bfloat16 checkpoint is a distillation-recovered approximation of the original; QAH distills the 4-bit student directly from the original, uncompressed model. On a GPT-OSS 120B to 60B to MXFP4 pipeline, the QAH student matches or beats its bfloat16 source on 7 of 9 benchmarks at roughly 4 times less weight memory and half the teacher's parameter count, and is released open-weight as Hypernova-60B. Against a matched QAT baseline it reaches a comparable peak about 7 times faster and stays stable under continued training, without hand-tuned early stopping. We also report deployment lessons, including a large, reproducible quality gap between distributed-training backends. Our aim is a recipe deployable without a multi-week hyper-parameter search.
These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
