Improving Quantized Model Performance in Qualitative Analysis with Multi-Pass Prompt Verification

In three linesStudy on quantization of LLaMA-3.1 (8B) for qualitative analysis. 8-bit models maintain best precision; 4-bit, 3-bit, and 2-bit models suffer increased hallucinations. A guided multi-pass verification method reduces hallucinations and improves low-bit model stability, making qualitative analysis accessible with fewer resources.
